IIRC the serialization problem prevented cloudinit from *saving* the ds. The "write the ds" code tried to serialize and deserialize the ds before adding it to the larger object to be pickled; since the serialize raised an exception, the function just dropped the ds on the floor and it never wound up in the obj.pkl.

I'm writing up the bug now (for the _unset network_config problem), and I'll attach collect-logs output. Your request for "bug first, then fix" is totally legit, and I was just being lazy, and you called me on it.
