maas fails to set a power type after enlistment on AMT based systems

EDIT: I initially filed this against the latest version of maas-test on trusty. But after bringing up my full maas server and trying the latest trusty version of maas, I have confirmed that this is actually a maas bug.

After enlistment, the node powers off, and is listed in the node list. However, no power type is set by the maas server, meaning every server I enlist has to be manually edited in order to be commissioned.

I have now seen this with both maas and maas-test on two different systems, one a NUC using AMT and one a SuperMicro using IPMI.

I ran maas-test as noted in the CLI above. It sent a power-on to the BMC of my server and the server PXE booted and succeeded in enlistment.

maas-test then went to the comissioning test and failed to power on the server.

Thanks to an update that provides the IP and login data for the MAAS vm that maas test creates, I was able to log ito the maas dashboard and take a look. It showed my server as a node ready to be comissioned. The maas dashboard ALSO, however was giving the warning about not having a power type set. I looked into the node data itself and sure enough, no power type was set.

I logged into the BMC manually and powered the server on and it boted and completed commissioning and passe the test.

So it seems that maas test sent IPMI commands to initiate the enlistment, but then failed to do likewise for the commissioning.

As a final check, just to make sure things weren't wonky on the server, I powered it on remotely via ipmitool from my maas-test machine:
ladernr@maas-test:~$ sudo ipmitool -H 10.0.0.5 -U ADMIN -P insecure power on
Chassis Power Control: Up/On

and off:
bladernr@maas-test:~$ sudo ipmitool -H 10.0.0.5 -U ADMIN -P insecure power off
Chassis Power Control: Down/Off
