Bug Description

This only happened, so far, on a m1.small (i386) image. m1.large, and KVM AMD64 did not show this error.

Release of Ubuntu: Hardy

    self.assertEquals(expected, rc, report)

This was a false positive due to bad luck (it's a statistical test). I have adjusted the expected entropy a bit more so this failure should be much more rare now.
