I also think that it is intellectually lazy to justify research by saying that "little is known". The paper or the grant should tell the reader why this is important, not just that it's unknown.
I think that "little is known about..." is not a sufficient justification for studying something. Little is known about the composition of the dirt on the floor of my office, but that is not a good enough reason to study it.
There seems to be an increasing use of the justification for a paper being "little is known". Here is the appearance of this phrase in PubMed. It looks like we know less as time progresses. Little is known about why this trend has developed.
