How long did you wait after starting with AWS settings before checking the lsof output? I've found that startup time on AWS can be quite slow, due to the fact that ES is describing all your instances and looking for other ES instances to cluster with. If you have a lot of instances, this could take quite a while.
I'd suggest enabling the logging as described here: http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/elasticsearch-on-ec2/ Then watch the logs as the node comes up. There may be some clues there as to what's going on.
