The factorization is basically a comment in A055870. The list of references
there is indeed small. So everybody with some additional references is welcome
to extend the list. There may be some more information in the Carlitz paper,

L. Carlitz, <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/S0012-7094-62-02953-8">Generating functions for powers of certain sequences of numbers</a>, Duke Math. J. 29 (4) (1962) 521-537

but I haven't tried to get access to the full paper.
