I admit I've never read puppetmaster logs like that so what I'm about to say may be very bad advice.
Since resources removed from your manifests become unmanaged rather than deleted, why not swap the node's current manifest for one which only re-enables ssh root login? Once you have access you can return to the desired manifest, and use your existing socket to see what gives. This might also be time to consider remote syslog, that way you can see what the node itself is doing.
