This is by design, so it´s not a bug. The connection to your UPS is  
not nearly reliable enough to support reading status updates from it.  
You don't want to find this out when there is a real problem, so  
snmp-ups fails to start if it can't connect to the UPS after a couple  
of tries.

It looks to me that you try to start the NUT service way to early  
during startup.
