I also experienced this bug today. What seems to have happened is that upstart init filled all of the memory on my machine while libjson-c2 was updating, leading to oom-killer killing everything. The kernel panic here would happen if oom-killer tries to act on init. After a reboot my machine managed to upgrade fully before crashing due to running out of memory again.
