I found this when trying with real cert.pem and pk.pem and user, but the
error occurs before those things are actually tested, so you can do:

mkdir foo; cd foo
img=my.img; cert=cert.pem; pk=pk.pem; user=123456789012
truncate --size 1M $img
mke2fs -F $img
touch $cert $pk
ec2-bundle-image --cert $cert --privatekey $pk --user $user  --image $img --arch i386 --debug
