Due to the way our system is architected, it likes to crap out if a script generates a warning, but it will do so silently. There's no way for us to know if a script dived out because of a warning or successfully sent its output to the next system.

This is your real problem. Fix this and the rest will go away. Warnings shouldn't be fatal - that's the whole idea! And of course you'll need a way to view them, throwing them away is suicide.
