Redirect::back() is most definitely within Laravel 4+ (I haven't used 3). As for it not working, I haven't personally experienced any problems with the method at all and works fine every time.
You can view the source code of the back() method here: https://github.com/illuminate/routing/blob/master/Redirector.php#L51
