We faced this issue, because a USB stick that happened to have an Ubuntu image on it was placed into the server being controlled by MAAS. The server then started to misbehave when MAAS deployments were made. The issue took a *long* time to root cause, and we believe this behaviour makes MAAS significantly more fragile.
In a real world environment, we don't believe this would be a particularly unusual sequence of events.
