that sounds like either nothing is listening there or upstart
is actively rejecting the connection

I'd suggest to update to a 3.x kernel and recent util-vserver
mainly for security reasons (nothing specific)

well, first, check that upstart is happily running inside the
guest, otherwise you won't be able to contact it.
assuming that is the case, I'd double check that you do not
use the single ip special casing, and/or configure (that's
probably a tricky thing to do :) upstart to allow connections
from the single guest IP instead of 127.0.0.1
