This upstart-'upgrade' (along with plymouth implementation) is one of the points where Canonical chose to neglect the LTS part and implement unfinished beta stuff in a version of Ubuntu on which everyone should be able to rely.
Unfortunatly, they are now busy dropping gnome, X and god knows what. So I'm afraid this will be a long running bug...
