Detect and abort on empty morphologies

If given an empty string to parse yamlparse.load() will return None,
but this breaks code further down that expects to be dealing with a
dict. Raise an exception to avoid crashing.

Also, avoid catching 'Exception' when we only want to catch JSON
parse errors.
