hmm... I notice you have a 3 now... doesn't appear to use upstart.(I'm looking) not sure how that invokes the lipc stuff to life sorry.
I was think of the K Touch. something similar must happen on the 3.
I'm having a dig around now. Others will know. There has to be an init somewhere you can dig through!!!
There are notes on the processes of Lipc and cvm on the wiki, (again for other devices IIRC) although nothing I can think of that will help specifically track that down,
I just don't know enough about the guts of what the .service's are (I have to imagine java methods but I'm not sure) the other errors in your log also indicate that lipc's db is failing to return values. for whatever reason. apologies I can't provide more specific help.
Shame that simply flattening it again probably wont help.
