Similar symptom was reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1146830 but seemed to be with diff cause.

Further investigation found that the upload failure was due to http_proxy. It prevented glanceclient from accessing API port which happen to be on a public IP. Using private IPs might mask this issue.
