(FOR REVIEW) (PUP-3521) Fix Puppet's exception swallowing

# FOR REVIEW

This PR attempts to fix Puppet's exception swallowing. It does this by changing places where Puppet rescues and swallows an exception to have a more granular `rescue` clause. 

This PR is going to need some review to ensure these changes are sane.
This file shouldn't be getting run on the server either, but these changes still seem sane to me.
