The vhdutil utility is completely dead; the whole subsystem it relies on was removed with [1] so it's not even vaguely possible to keep it up-to-date. I took the .raw images on a nb and used the qemu-img there (so Xenial) and generated some VPC images; uploaded them to rackspace and the all seemed to boot fine. If there was a problem, maybe it's been fixed on either the qemu or RAX side in the previous few years. Thus swith to qemu-img to generate the vhd images too.

Image building tools for OpenStack
diskimage-builder
is a flexible suite of components for
building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk
images for use with OpenStack.
This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.
For example:
$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu
will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2
image.
diskimage-builder
is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the
components of TripleO that are
responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to
build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
