which leads me to believe they had chroot'ed into their Ubuntu system to repair a failed upgrade. There are also a few with 'rescue/enable=true' in the Command line, which is also likely a situation where people chroot'ed.

Looking at the 22 bugs that I mentioned the vast majority have 'Command line' information in dmesg that references a cdrom for example:
bug-991520/Dmesg.txt:[ 0.000000] Command line: file=/cdrom/ preseed/ ubuntu. seed boot=casper initrd= /casper/ initrd. lz quiet splash -- maybe-ubiquity
