 From the product ids inside the azure.json etc. files, where the 
incompatibility happens?  Or also from the entries in the indexes?

Looking at the index contents, I find the entry keys puzzling:

   com.ubuntu.cloud:daily  (for Azure)
   com.ubuntu.cloud:daily:aws  (for EC2)
   com.ubuntu.cloud:daily:download  (for... what?)

What do those ":aws" and ":download" suffixes mean, and why doesn't the 
Azure part of the index have one?

I tried to read the simplestreams documentation, but it's not very 
helpful or up to date.  I guess that's how the imagemetadata package and 
the simplestreams data became incompatible in the first place.
