I can reproduce this in a VM:
1) boot a clean cloud images (uvt-kvm create lp1387881)
2) apt-get install virtinst
3) sudo virt-install --name juju-bootstrap --ram=2048 --vcpus=1 --hvm
--virt-type=kvm --pxe --boot network,hd --os-variant=ubuntutrusty --graphics
vnc --noautoconsole --os-type=linux --accelerate --nodisks -d
You'll get the following:
$ sudo virt-install --name juju-bootstrap --ram=2048 --vcpus=1 --hvm
--virt-type=kvm --pxe --boot network,hd --os-variant=ubuntutrusty --graphics
vnc --noautoconsole --os-type=linux --accelerate --nodisks -d

I haven't been able to get much out of libvirt as the kvm instance
never starts.
