Stephen Finucane (stephenfin on irc) would know best at this point, but 
I know he ran into some issues with configuring nova when using novnc 
1.0.0, so check your novncproxy_base_url config option value:

https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#vnc.novncproxy_base_url

Specifically:

"If using noVNC >= 1.0.0, you should use vnc_lite.html instead of 
vnc_auto.html."
