Ah, I can finally reproduce this! It seems the crucial difference is using do-release-upgrade; with apt-get or apt it always works fine.

I start from a slightly minimized vivid cloud image.

sudo apt-get install -y ubuntu-release-upgrader-core ofono
sudo do-release-upgrade -d

(using "lxc juju-local" instead of "ofono" as in bug 1490110 works too).

This even works in a schroot with policy-rc.d (which is much faster as it doesn't have to dist-upgrade the kernel etc). The upgrade doesn't fail, but one still sees
