ok, first of all one issue: your featuresrepository is not completely correct. mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/standard/2.2.5/xml/features...
Besides of this you're facing a completely different problem. You're using karaf 2.2.4 and expect it to start 2.2.5 bundles simply because you change the features.xml repository. This wont work that way because of (e.g.; only one reason) etc/startup.properties. It's NOT a good idea to use different karaf features.xml than comming with your karaf distribution (but feel free to change/add any other repository url). I've tested what you've described with karaf 2.2.5 and everything works as expected. Can you pls check if using Karaf 2.2.5 fixes your problems too?
