Yeah, I wonder if it's this fix:

https://github.com/fog/fog/commit/f2bd2404d1882a6244afea0836614146331dab56

And I wonder how long my systems have to live with this breakage until the
next fog release is out. Until then, I have to run chef twice at instance
launch, which is suboptimal.

This makes me wonder how, if at all, I can manage preventing changes from
upstream providers breaking things in my own environment. Do I start rolling
my own gems? In this particular case, I wonder if I should specify the version
of the fog gem prior to the breakage. Probably..
