Nodes will not be able to provision without boot images. Visit the boot images page to start the import.') RETURNING "maasserver_componenterror"."id"

This almost looks like a race might be occurring in
maasserver.component.register_persistent_error(), which is what is
used to register the error when boot images are missing. That function
removes any existing error message for a component (in this case
"maas-import-pxe-files script") before adding a new one; you'd only
see this — I think — if there were two requests trying to do that at
the same time.

Note that the code that registers / removes the error is in the
middleware, so it gets run with every request ATM. I'm not sure, then,
whether this is a symptom of the Houdini, or a side-effect.
