This _might_ be related, at least there's the same "failed with error 2" message, but after a connect:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=360143

So, additionally, when this fails again, try the following (after inspecting the logs as described above):
1. Manually start the client using: sudo invoke-rc.d boinc-client start
2. Looking at other errors like that (via Google, e.g. http://128.32.18.189/trac/ticket/923), this appears to come from boincmgr, and not "boinc" itself; please check the list of running process via "ps aux | grep boinc" when it failed to start.
