That's because the ephemeral image uses the latest released version
which is beta2. Unfortunately, the version of cloud-init in beta2
doesn't know about MAAS yet.

Comment #2 there has the work-around. You basically need to upgrade
cloud-init in the ephemeral images used for commissioning.

Let me know if you need more help.
