Scott, were the CC & CLC the same host when it worked for you? I don't see
how it could ever work with "--addressing-private" if they're separate, and
Daniel's comment seems to confirm. Since it doesn't inject the key using the
non-MANAGED way when in MANAGED mode, it seems we need add a fix for
private IP instances.

It seems this specific bug may be around the fact that a host with a public IP
isn't getting it nat'd properly by the CC. But the issue of a private-only IP
instance not being able to get metadata may be separate (see bug 580184).
