Yep, looks like a bug. Something must have changed at RAX for the
security groups and nobody has updated libcloud...

As David suggests, Shade is a much better option although it lacks a few
features for Swift. There is a draft tutorial (missing the swift parts):

http://developer.openstack.org/draft/firstapp-shade/

Maybe consider if it's worth using first-app tutorial to compare the app
developer experience on Rackspace Cloud to the others. The first-app
looks to me more like a book to understand micro-services and
architectural design for the cloud than an example of a real-world
deployment. Using that tutorial as a benchmark for dev experience may
always give unfair results.
