Okay, I figured it out....we have a race condition.

What is happening is that the Windows Azure datasource starts WALinuxAgent. WALinuxAgent normally goes off and fetches a bunch of files. The datasource normally waits for files to show up from WALinuxAgent. In the case of a capture, the files remain there, unless the user removes them. The end result is that by the time WALinuxAgent gets the files, cloud-init has consumed the previous files.
