There are actually two different Higurashi novels in Higurashi... the actual games themselves are mentioned (in the context of them being available at the Summer '84 Comiket) and Ooishi co-authors a book with Akasaka in the Himatsubushi Chapter that shares the same name, although the content seems to be rather different (it's a history of the events leading up to the Hinamizawa Disaster).
With this in mind, I fail to see how it was a surprise that Umineko was also fictional within its own universe, but, of course, everything is clear in hindsight...
