We recently had a situation where servers weren't able to use their 
auto-sign'ed certificates because their local clock was months off from 
real-time.  Of course, it was brand-new hardware straight off the dock and 
hadn't yet had a chance to have ntp sync the clock to the correct time because, 
well, puppet is what fires up NTP. :-)

Is there any way to recognize that puppet might be the thing in charge of 
bringing the clocks into sync, and allowing puppet to ignore 
certificate-verification failures that are based solely on the time-delta being 
too high?  It certainly seems like it'd be a useful feature.
