For the records, discussion have followed on IRC.
It revealed a pretty impacting bug, on branches 2.9 and 2.10, touching 
latest release and nightlies
The bug reference is http://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/4992 , 
and an error in the initial promises prevent them from effectively 
downloading the promises from the Rudder Server

It impacts only new nodes, using latest 2.9.5 and 2.10.1, and the 
workaround is to execute the command
/var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent -Kf failsafe.cf -Dfailsafe
Or you can install new nodes with version 2.9.4 or 2.10.0, accept them 
in the Rudder server, and then update the packages

Package are being built right now with fixes, so the nightly should fix 
the issue, and a new release with the fix should arrive soon.

We are really sorry about the inconvenience,
Nicolas
