Comment (by jdreed):
OK, I dug into the upstart code and looked at a variety of launchpad bugs.
I have a theory. This started with Natty, which coincided with when
Upstart grew support for chroots (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/TechnicalOverviewUpstart). I kind of
wonder if the system bus is dying, getting respawned inside the chroot,
and then dying when the chroot exits, and there's no bus with which to
reboot. I wonder if fixing #775 will have any impact on this, and also I
haven't see this failure mode on Precise. But if we do see it, I'd like
to try disabling this support ("--no-sessions" on the command line) and
see if that helps.
