It may be upstart after all goofing up the console somehow. Crash
is due to following;
..
stat64("/dev/fd", 0x7efc3978)           = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Now if I dump the contents of /proc/self/fd (/dev/fd) just prior
to executing upstart everything is fine. Links also properly
point to console. Humm..
