Marcus,

This error is not reproducible here.  The bootchart package will, by
default, start the collector in the initramfs, which means the results
are written to /dev/.bootchart, not to /var/run/bootchart; this results
in the following handling in the upstart stop script:

    if [ -d /dev/.bootchart ]
    then
        LOGS=/dev/.bootchart/log
    else
        LOGS=/var/run/bootchart
    fi
    [...]
    # Gather the output into the tarball
    /lib/bootchart/gather "$TARBALL" "$LOGS"

Is bootchart somehow missing from your initramfs?  Are you not using an
initramfs that was generated on Ubuntu with the bootchart package
installed?

Also, it may be best if you file a separate bug report for your issue,
as your problem may have a different cause from the bug originally being
reported here.
