/snowball back in the game?

Howdy!

A friend of mine used the /snowball emote just now, and I thought he may have used /em to manually type it, but I just tried it myself and it works! The actual snowball-hitting doesn't happen, but you do make the throwing motion. Is this supposed to work, or (more likely) is it something that accidentally slipped through the cracks during the patch?

Thanks!
