Ok, Ubuntu ships with 2.19 (checked on my Nexus 4) so the fix isn't 
included yet.

You could be right that it's actually a real network connectivity issue 
as it always appears directly after booting up.
That is, however, still a problem as then the penaltyCount variables 
for the accounts are set to 1, which means that the server will be 
polled ten minutes after boot for the first time. That's far too late 
in my opinion.
