Description
When calling state.highstate on any given node, the following log lines appear during execution:
[ERROR ] Invalid compound target: for results:
[ERROR ] Invalid compound target: for results:
We should determine what these are and how to resolve them.
Running sudo salt-call -l debug state.highstate after vagrant sshing into a given node locally should produce output that helps us track this down.

Done means the cause is identified and a concrete resolution is documented or implemented.
