I don't believe this is accurate. On syntax error, the puppetmaster cannot compose a catalogue. Puppetd will per default use its cached catalogue then. This happens on the client node, the master is unaware of this. When running puppetd --test, nousecacheonfailure is implied. Again, settings that apply to puppetd are *not* going to have an impact on puppetmaster behaviour. The original problem sounds like a bug to me.
