@Adam: the point here is that Upstart is signalling an error, albeit a soft one. However, in all cases it will be a transitory error since at some point in the boot /dev/pts _will_ be mounted.

Aparently that isn't the case. I'm booting with NFS-root so no initrd and mountall also can't be used. Instead I have an upstart job that mounts /dev and /dev/pts and creates /dev/ptmx (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1006517) and the error only goes away after restarting upstart, not once /dev/pts + ptmx is available.
