Thanks for the pointer Francis. I tried that solution yesterday per
Robbie Williamson's suggestion (hi Robbie!) but the directory
structure was not valid (i.e.: somewhere around 'ephemeral/' the
folders in the solution didn't match those on my system. For the
record, I was using yesterday's daily build of 12.04 with both the
Stable and Testing PPAs of MAAS installed.)

The folder structure explained in the linked bug exists in my current
build (using this morning's 12.04 daily build of Server and no
additional PPAs,) but after throwing some perl locale warnings it
completes with:
"Leaving 'diversion of /etc/init/ureadahead.conf to
/etc/init/ureadahead.conf.disabled by cloud-init'
and I notice nothing new in my web interface. Do I need to
reinstall/reconfigure MAAS at this point, and if so how?

Thanks!
-Mike
