This bug is fixed in upstart 1.13 but until the fix is backported to Ubuntu trusty, upgrading to ubuntu utopic can cause a delay on the upstart package upgrade. The duration of that delay is a function of the number of times upstart has been re-exec'd since boot.

To estimate the delay on your system, you can try doing this:

$ wget http://people.canonical.com/~jhunt/upstart/scripts/get_state.sh
$ bash -c 'time { bash get_state.sh|json_pp >/dev/null; }'

Note that if the delay is appreciable, you may be hit by bug 901038.

We hope to get both these issues resolved in trusty in the next few days...
