We recently experienced this as well - cloud-init uses the "ec2-user" 
account by default, and we now run:

   if [ -e /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg ]; then
     /bin/sed -i 's|ec2-user|root|' /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
   fi

in our image creation procedure to change this to "root"

             hth, cheers, Jan
