Hey Jay, I just tried to reproduce this on my 14.04 box and wasn't able to so I am betting there's some kind of new bug with us on 16.04. Do you get the same error if you run without --image-size=10? Last time we had an issue like this a new grub version changed the default behavior, so I'd suspect something along those lines. I am trying out a new run on a 16.04 box but its going to be a bit before the cloud image downloads (cloud-image.ubuntu.com is pretty slow)...
