You could try the toComp expression with 3D null driving the 2d puppet pins. 

  • Create a 3D Null 
  • Hold ALT and click on one of you puppet pins.
  • Use the pickwhip to link to the null layer, then edit the expression to add toComp([0,0,0])

    thisComp.layer("Null 1").toComp([0,0,0])​
    This converts the 3D coordinates into 2D values.  It will allow you to deform a puppet, although it still won't make it 3D

Yes, this is just how it works. If you need to modify your stuff, you need to pre-compose it and treat it in 2D.
