I couldn't say, perhaps different versions? Or run with more verbosity and see what both versions are doing.
Puppet 2.6.2 on Debian Stable (6.0.4): "Enable the most common options used for testing. These are +onetime+, +verbose+, +ignorecache, +no-daemonize+, and +no-usecacheonfailure+." Puppet 2.7.6 on FreeBSD (9.0-RELEASE): "Enable the most common options used for testing. These are 'onetime', 'verbose', 'ignorecache', 'no-daemonize', 'no-usecacheonfailure', 'detailed-exit-codes', 'no-splay', and 'show_diff'." I'm not sure it matters as long as you can get a onetime run. Dig into the ruby code if it's really bothering you, of course. As to Darryl's comment in another branch, I haven't needed more than no-daemonize, verbose, and debug to solve all my problems so far.
