Title:
  failure when starting with expect stop doesn't respawn, but logs it
  will

Status in upstart :
  New
Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Consider this job (also attached):

    script
        sleep 10
        exit 1
    end script
    expect stop
    respawn

  If started this will pause for 10 seconds, then print
  "started/running" state:

    $ sudo initctl start bug
    bug start/running

  However, it is recorded as failed in syslog:

    Jan 17 19:20:26 localhost kernel: [276823.832916] init: bug main process (11410) terminated with status 1
    Jan 17 19:20:26 localhost kernel: [276823.832930] init: bug main process ended, respawning

  But it isn't running, didn't actually respawn, and never does.
