I've sorted through what's going on here. Partly this is caused by bug
#643289, which causes a race condition for idmapd at boot time and
leaves the idmapd job in an inconsistent "start/running" state with no
associated process (bug #545673). And partly, this is a bug in
/lib/init/upstart-job: when the service *is* "start/running" with no
PID, the 'restart' command is mapped to 'start', which fails because the
job is already "running". I think upstart needs to restart in this case
whether there's a pid or not.
