cloud-init misbehaves when a vendor data json comes with information that won't be consumed by it, a fix was added in rev 1013[0]. I backported this patch to Trusty and prepared a patched image, having a custom vendor data doesn't break cloud-init functionality.
I'll submit a SRU to fix this in Trusty as soon as possible.
