If the host's facter pre-cache step fails, the container-puppet executions will fail with some other error around facts. If we want to skip the cache, then we need to not mount the folder as read-only as that has other effects.
An example would be:
+ mkdir -p /etc/puppet
+ cp -a /tmp/puppet-etc/auth.conf /tmp/puppet-etc/hiera.yaml /tmp/puppet-etc/hieradata /tmp/puppet-etc/modules /tmp/puppet-etc/puppet.conf /tmp/puppet-etc/puppet.conf.rpmnew /etc/puppet
+ rm -Rf /etc/puppet/ssl
+ echo '{"step": 6}'

In this case, this was caused by the host having facter2 which didn't support providing a facter.conf, but the containers did so the pre-cache fails and the attempt to generate cache in the container fails due to not being able to create the folders.
