Hi,
   I think that I understand your issue, and that you're actually reporting 2 separate issues.

a.) a space in the comment field a public key breaks the "no root" prefix
  This seems like a valid issue, and I understand it, thank you for reporting.

b.) 'ssh_import_id: [vm-user]' is not functioning as you expected
  ssh_import_id uses ssh-import-id. The purpose of ssh-import-id is to
  import a users keys from launchpad.net. Ie, using 'ssh_import_id: [smoser]'
  would result in my ssh keys being pulled from
  https://launchpad.net/~smoser/+editsshkeys into the configured 'user'
  account.

  In cloud-init available in 12.10 (quantal) and later, there is a richer
  method of describing users and groups including the ability to list
  ssh-import-id or ssh-authorized keys per user. See [1] for more
  information.

  In 12.04, this is just more limited, ssh-import-id only operates on the
  configured 'user'.

So, what I'll do is consider this a need to fix 'a'.
If I've misunderstood, something, please let me know.

And thanks for taking the time to report a bug.
