This is not an upstart bug, it's a bug in the mountall upstart job.
When /etc/default/locale is broken to the point that it's unparseable by
the shell, the job will fail with an error like:

: 11: /etc/default/locale: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

To avoid these parse errors breaking the shell would require testing the
parseability in a subshell, which in turn requires mountall to be
switched to a different service readiness protocol.  So this is unlikely
to be fixed soon.
