Puppet users - Dec 2011 - exported resources when cannot compile catalog

When for some reason the catalog compilation fails and the cached 
version is used on one node, all the exported resources from this node 
appear to be deleted from the master and the node realizing those 
resources acts as they don''t exist, deleting them...

For instance, we have a node "A" exporting a specific file. A node
"B"
is realizing this file into a directory with "purge=>true". When 
compiling the catalog for node "A", there is a syntax error, the
cached
version is used. If you try to compile the catalog in "B" before
fixing
the syntax error in "A", the exported file will be deleted.

I know we could just set "purge=>false" so it doesn''t
delete it, but I
would like to maintain it.

Is that the proper behaviour for the exported resources? Is there any 
way to avoid this issue?

Thanks
