Actually, it seems more likely that the retracers are taking too long to exit and so then they get killed. From the cookbook:

Upstart waits for up to kill timeout seconds (default 5 seconds) for the process to end.

If the process is still running after the timeout, a SIGKILL signal is sent to the process which cannot be ignored and will forcibly stop the processes in the process group.

So perhaps we should increase the kill timeout for the upstart jobs.
