Description From Patrick Armstrong 2010-04-14 15:53:46

When creating a VM without a customization task, the request usually fails.
Here's a transcript from the creation request.

The same request with a customization task succeeds.

Got a report of same error but from a cloud-client invocation that seems to
have the customization task (ssh.pubkey is in conf) which is different from
patrick's symptoms

Here is the issue if anyone is interested.  When there is no customization task
(a rare usage, so you are first to uncover), the service will invoke
"propagate+start" as an optimization.  The state machine is doing the wrong
thing in that case.  The solution for release 2.5 will need to be to just
disable that optimization until it can be fixed for real.
