As reported on the mailing list (https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2012-February/msg00153.html) the startup wait time hardcoded in /usr/sbin/ipactl should be configurable by means of a directive in /etc/ipa/default.conf.
On my slow VM I needed to increment this value of at least 25 seconds.

I'm planning on expanding this to have a more sane way to wait for services to start by putting this into ipapython/platform.
The downside is we're going to require importing ipalib into it so we can have the api so we can have this configurable in /etc/ipa/*.conf.

Moving to next month iteration.
master: e5b6260
The configurable value is startup_timeout and can be added to /etc/ipa/default.conf or /etc/ipa/server.conf (the latter is probably a better choice).
The default is 120 seconds.
