I know, it looks that way. But I checked many times before running the init script that no OVS processes were running. Even shown below, the ovsdb-tool to create the initial DB fails. I know at that point nothing was running. It's really odd behaviour.

/etc/openvswitch/conf.db does not exist ... (warning).
Creating empty database /etc/openvswitch/conf.db ovsdb-tool: I/O error: /etc/openvswitch/conf.db: failed to lock lockfile (Resource temporarily unavailable)

This message probably means that ovsdb-server is already running.
If you started it separately from the initscript, then you should kill
that one before using the initscript to start it.
