So I tried another time, this time paying attention to fstab in between
steps. I created a machine and updated cloud-init to
0.7.8-47-gb6561a1-0u.

$ mount|grep sdb ; grep mnt /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/disk/cloud/azure_resource-part1    /mnt    auto    
defaults,nofail,comment=cloudconfig     0       2

Now I thought it might be worth trying a reboot, which apparently
rewrites fstab:

$ mount|grep sdb ; grep mnt /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/disk/cloud/azure_resource-part1    /mnt    auto    
defaults,nofail,x-systemd.requires=cloud-init.service,comment=cloudconfig       
0       2

So now I'm ready to resize, which I do, but unfortunately:

$ mount|grep sdb ; grep mnt /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt type fuseblk 
(rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)
/dev/disk/cloud/azure_resource-part1    /mnt    auto    
defaults,nofail,x-systemd.requires=cloud-init.service,comment=cloudconfig       
0       2

And:
$ systemctl status /mnt
● mnt.mount - /mnt
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/fstab; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (mounted) since Wed 2016-11-16 22:21:17 UTC; 10min ago

So it looks like it's a closer race now than before, but it is still a race. 
Should it be x-systemd.after? From the systemd.unit manpage:

If a unit foo.service requires a unit bar.service as configured with
Requires= and no ordering is configured with After= or Before=, then
both units will be started simultaneously and without any delay between
them if foo.service is activated.
