Following up on my previous comment, the propose fix actually causes the upstart script to fail to start if there are no OVS interfaces present (the ifup errors which I believe causes the pre-start script section to "error" which then causes upstart to kill the process). I submitted a bit longer fix at https://code.launchpad.net/~brian-turek/ubuntu/trusty/openvswitch/fix-for-1314887/+merge/261912
