The data source: "DataSourceAltCloud" can only be used to pass in
"user-data" and it only
supports cloud types: EC2, RHEVm and vSphere.

What cloud back-end are you running on?

I  thought you stated you are using the data source: "nocloud".

cloud-init functionality can be configured a bit using it's
configuration file. You might want
to experiment to make sure all the functionality you want is enabled in it.
For reference, the upstream version can be viewed here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/view/head:/config/cloud.cfg

The warning  from url_helper.py seems to indicate the ec2 style
meta-data is not
available. I'm not sure why. You might want to  post a description of
your set-up
and ask about this warning upstream at: cloud-init at lists.launchpad.net
