Ok, from that log 2 things are visible:

1. New Ubuntu S3 mirror does have some (non-deterministic?) issues.
2. Jenkins ignores non-zero exist status of slave init script and continues with using it for builds (as long as it can start java on it).

What happens overall is that we run that slave init script with set -xe, and "adduser --system jenkins-build" is the last command in it, so of any previous commands will fail, script will be aborted, user not created, but slave will still be used by jenkins for builds.
