Bug Description

Example: https://ci.lscape.net/job/latch/9166/console

Scenerio:

* We get a 503 from LP
* latch ignores the collection read error, in order to not block on weird LP errors
* the error is not trickled up, so latch thinks no tests have been done
* so latch kicks off another test, leading to future failed reads.

Two fixes need to be done:

1) Don't treat failed LP reads (503 or otherwise) the same as an empty set read
2) Don't post such big messages, people can just click the results link that latch sticks in there.
