Comment 8 for bug 732953

Confirming that this bug still exists in natty (facter 1.5.8-2ubuntu2) but has since been fixed upstream. The issue exists in the "can_connect?" method and has little to do with the actual URL elsewhere, though changing the meta-data URL to use "/latest" instead of "/2008-02-01" provides a few more additional facts about network interfaces, security group and host names (as of today, at least).
