This should be the result of loading the node from the server somehow failing.  I believe Sascha is working on a proper fix, but in the mean time this shouldn't happen if you have a connection to the server.

I can confirm this. I was debugging it earlier this week and have been looking for the time to write the code to submit a pull request instead of just submitting a bug report :/

Hello,

using chef 11 (11.4.0) I have noticed a strange behavior when a run fails: the next run won't start because of the locking introduced by http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-867.

Log for the client is :

...
ERROR: Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Error connecting to https://chef03-am5 /nodes/mem02-ty5 - Connection timed out - connect(2)
[2013-03-13T11:40:03+01:00] FATAL: Stacktrace dumped to /var/cache/chef/chef-stacktrace.out
[2013-03-13T11:40:03+01:00] ERROR: Sleeping for 1800 seconds before trying again
[2013-03-13T12:10:04+01:00] INFO: Chef client  is running, will wait for it to finish and then run.

I guess this is not the expected impact of the lock, is this a bug ?

Cheers,
