Ok, so this is a bug in IPA related to python readline. Garbage is 
getting inserted and causing bad things to happen, 
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4064

So the question is, are the certs available or not.

A number of the same certificates are shared amongst all the CAs. One 
does the renewal and stuffs the result into 
cn=ca_renewal,cn=ipa,cn=etc,$SUFFIX. The other CAs refer to that 
location for an updated cert and will load them if they are updated.

Look to see if the certs are updated there. Given that you have 2 
working masters I'm assuming that is the case, so it may just be a 
matter of fixing the python.
