Public bug reported:

14.04 "Trusty"
uname = 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP  x86_64
fail2ban version 0.8.11-1
iptables version 1.4.21-1ubuntu1

I just put this server up last week - just a postfix/mail box mostly.
My jails are all default/default filters..

Haven't had a chance to try and reproduce on other servers, but simply adding:
protocol = all

Gives me errors for all jails. Changing back to 'tcp' does not.

Test - add this under your jail.local:
Under  [DEFAULT]
Just  change 'protocol = tcp' to 'protocol = all' (or 0)

It also errors on a jail by jail basis = Add "protocol = all" under the
a specific jail.

Log sample when set to 'all':
2016-03-13 17:36:21,397 fail2ban.jail   : INFO   Jail 'ssh' started
2016-03-13 17:36:21,400 fail2ban.jail   : INFO   Jail 'postfix' started

When protocol = tcp there are no errors - bans work and iptables lists them in 
the given jail.
