I've seen those environments. I've worked in them. A few host types in my current environment are like that. IT IS A BUG. The only valid reason for this is either a bug in your manifests/modules, or that things aren't ordered properly.
That being said... don't run via cron. If you're using any sort of provisioning system, just have that run puppet until it succeeds. If you're not, then at host provisioning time, you could use a script that runs puppet until it succeeds.
