Ansible Playbook Fact gathering fails on one Node

I have a playbook that goes over the nodes and gets the facts.
There is one node where this fails with following error.

Anyone got a Idea why this error happens?

Traceback (most recent call last):

it seems to have issues getting the device info, though the error is
pretty weird as in the current code 'm' is checked before accessing,
are you using an old version of ansible?

I’m using version 1.9.2.
