Since there is no Quantal image available on Azure, test for Quantal was done by upgrading the Precise image to Quantal (with prior removal of the original walinuxagent to workaround the bug), installing walinuxagent and then upgrading to the Quantal package.
The quantal package in -proposed does fix the problem.
