Is this really a bug? I think we would want to fail if the CA plugin is not configured correctly.

    Catch exceptions raised by bad certificate plugin info

    If the Snakeoil plugin's persistent storage gets hosed or out of sync with the
    Barbican database, the plugin can send information that raises an
    exception. This exception needs to be caught. The failure is in
    the plugin, so Barbican can not take guesses. It should log the
    error, cancel the action, and continue.
