Ah. OK. Confirmed. Seems to be a Horizon bug. Best is if you open a support
ticket. A ticket from a customer gets more attention than my internal
complaining :-)

Do we support config drive? In general, config drive is OpenStack's
equivalent of Amazon's EC2 metadata service. It's used to provide instance
information (instance name, IP address, SSH key aso) to the instance though
a mountable (read-only CDROM) drive but the image needs to support it.
cloud-init's support of config drive is very limited and IIRC only supports
static networking configuration at the moment (Rackspace needs this because
they use static IPs in their environment hence the instance can't get to
the EC2 metadata service without configuring the network first).
