I want to thank everyone that's been working on this issue profusely.
This exposed a release critical bug in Nova that we would not have
caught otherwise. Finding that before milestone 3 is a huge win and
gives us a lot more options in fixing it correctly.

I think we've got the proper fix now -
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/279721/ (fingers crossed). The metadata
server is one of the least tested components we've got on the Nova side,
so I'll be looking at ways to fix that problem and hopefully avoid
situations like this again.
