I encountered the same problem while trying to deploy custom facts. The
solution that I have used is the assign a definite *certname* in
puppet.conf under both the [agent] and [master] sections of the file,
giving it the certname puppetmaster. After this, you need to deactivate the
node as it was previously named (probably its fqdn), accept any SSL
certificates it requested, then restart the puppet agent service. That
allowed the backend (PuppetDB) to sync the puppetmaster's facts when the
agent was re-run for me.
Good luck
