Odd that it tries to mount your /home/.../Private at all.

The shell issue is known, it's actually deliberate in that we probably
won't fail on everything by release, but it's better to fail now while
debugging.

Could you modify the /etc/init/mountall.conf file, comment out "expect
daemon", and change the exec line to call mountall with --debug instead
of --daemon and output to a file under /dev

  exec mountall --debug $force_fsck... >/dev/mountall.log 2>&1

should be fine
