            Description

            Puppet Version: current master, e.g. ddd5610aa9ffb5eb9da13521f1fc68e562a2e0b3
            Puppet Server Version: n/a
            OS Name/Version: n/a

            Actual Behavior:

            In some cases puppet creates a transactionstore.yaml that are not able to be read back, causing 

            Error: Transaction store file /home/david/.puppetlabs/opt/puppet/cache/devices/pavm/state/transactionstore.yaml is corrupt (Unknown alias: 1); replacing

            Desired Behavior:

            No errors or stacktraces on regular puppet use.

            Reproduction:

            Thomas Franklin has put together a detailed description and a potential fix in https://github.com/Thomas-Franklin/puppet/commit/49b8e023c6c9bb551bd0ce21648a604042c490ff
