I've opened a Eucalyptus (and Ubuntu/Eucalyptus task). This is really a eucalyptus bug. Ideally the instance would not be booted without the metadata service up and ready. That would be the ideal world. As seen in bug 308530, EC2 has an issue where if the instance looks too soon, the metadata service might not be present at all (no route to host, or failed tcp connection)

Eucalyptus seems to have a similar bug the metadata service responds with http succes (code '200') before it is actually populated.
