Comment 3 for bug 1585087

strace shows that upstart *does* read /usr/share/upstart/sessions/bamfdaemon.override successfully. Also, if I replace the override with

  exec true

then "true" is being executed, and the job loops because the *.conf has "restart" (i. e. expected).

This opens the hypothesis that the job is being started through something else than the "start on" condition. But it is not being referenced by any other *.conf file. And indeed, even if I drop the "start on" from bamfdaemon.conf it still gets started.
