Huge thanks to Colin (and apw) for this find.

I want to state that this is a very real problem and not theoretical. I've seen it many times, it is triggerable with enough reboots, and it has been seen on krillin by non-developers (ie, just through normal reboots and system-image updates). stgraber outlined the start of a fix here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8851794/

IMO, we must solve #2 from Colin's comment #9 (perform an fsck using something like stgraber's approach) before the golden image. If we have that, we can solve #1 in OTA (though in an ideal world that would be fixed prior to golden image since we don't want people dropping into recovery mode if we can at all help it).
