I can reproduce this. I still think it's a bug in the Ubuntu dpkg
scripts though ..
Bug or not, I replaced the --update flag with:
--run-command '
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
apt_opts="-q -y -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confnew"
apt-get $apt_opts update
apt-get $apt_opts upgrade ||:
' \
--firstboot-command 'apt-get -f install'
which seems to work around the problem, although Ubuntu gets "stuck"
booting - not sure if it did that before however.
