After some further digging I found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/692801

I also note that my version of upstart was upgraded *after* mysql:
Preparing to replace upstart 0.6.5-8 (using .../upstart_1.4-0ubuntu2_i386.deb)

I'm upgrading from Lucid LTS server, by changing sources.list / apt-get dist-upgrade.
