If this is the case, it's necessarily a bug in either the kernel or the
networking layer, not in upstart. Upstart itself (mountall) only tries to
mount the network filesystems when it's received a notification that a
network interface is up. It may not be the interface *needed* for the
mount, but in this case it's expected to fail immediately and upstart will
wait for the next network interface before retrying.
If this is a kernel bug, it's an obscure one, and I don't see any point in
having you retest with newer upstream kernels.
