Absolutely, the Groovy scripts should catch that to avoid useless load (and unnecessary email notifications) on the farm.

I am not 100% sure how the Groovy script missed that case.
But I added more output and catching for some corner cases: https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/buildfarm/issues/132
Please report if you see this happening again (after the farm has been reconfigure which is in about one hour from now).
