I was able to reproduce this bug finally, and can confirm that the
kernel is getting installed, but not set up properly in grub.  It seems
that VMs built with ubuntu-vm-builder do not include grub2.  The auto-
upgrade-testing scripts seem to account for this by forcing an install
of grub-pc, but I'm not sure if that's before or after the upgrade, and
doesn't seem to automatically handle the conversion to grub2.  I was
able to take the image that was failing and work around this by first
booting the image with kvm, installing grub-pc and running upgrade-from-
grub-legacy

It *is* a bit curious that all of this worked using the same process for
precise->quantal and previous upgrade tests, but not for
quantal->raring.
