This is definitely with -27?  All init scripts are current, with no
versions from earlier releases being held back?

This was supposed to have been fixed in -24, in commit 32d0678.
Did you have a /run/.clean flagfile created prior to
mountall-bootclean running?

I'll try reproducing with the sleep (might be later in the week; I'm
about to set off to a conference).


Thanks,
