A kludgey fix is to have in /etc/e2fsck.conf something like:
[options]
buggy_init_scripts = 1

The trigger for this seems to be an incomplete/faulty restore of the syetm 
time from the hardware clock before running the fsck -a. To the best I can 
see, hwclock is not being set/corrected at all before fsck (and it should 
be).

As for the loopey effect, one possible theory is upstart attempting to 
bring up a whole bunch of stuff, each of those in turn have a dep chain 
(of various lengths) to mountall, so mountall keeps being attempted 
umpteen times, each time failing.
