Puppet 3.4.0 adds experimental support for the msgpack protocol (
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/experiments_msgpack.html),
but doesn't depend on it being present. To enable it you need to install
the msgpack gem and set the preferred serialization format, so unless
you're explicitly enabling it then it shouldn't be a concern. Since it's
only experimental we aren't planning on moving to it in the near future,
but it's available so that people can try it for themselves.
With respect to your puppet runs being empty, you'll probably want to
ensure that the puppet master is generating the catalogs that you expected.
You can do `puppet master --compile nodename` to directly generate a
catalog; if that returns an empty catalog then it is probably an issue with
how the master is configured.
