I re-installed ChromeOS, I followed your script as a new install and it worked fine,
The OpenELEC backup function did not work. It was OK to reconfigure the box again.
By the way, re-installing the ChromeOS did not solve the issue of no audio on HDMI.
Now the people at Google are telling me it is known bug in their last release and they are working on it. Obviously not working very hard because it is been going on for more than 2 months !!!.
The new guy at Google in charge of ChromeOS was saying the other day that he predicts ChromeOS will be the dominant OS in the future !!!. What a joke !!!. How long did it take Apple to correct the snafu with IOS 8 ? one day ?
Best Regards.
I've used the OE backup/restore function pretty regularly, I'm surprised it didn't work for you.
ChromeOS updates are released on a pretty regular/continuous schedule (6 weeks I think). You might switch to the beta channel so you get access to the latest update sooner, which might have an HDMI audio fix for you.

make_timeout ()
{
cat << EOF
if [ "\${recordfail}" = 1 ]; then
set timeout=5
else
set timeout=${2}
fi
EOF
}
Did a "sudo grub-update" and it is booting fine now. The grub menu appears for 5 seconds then continues. It does look like the grub code is a bit flakey in Ubuntu 14.04. I'm just surprised nobody has report this already.
probably not a whole lot of people running without a keyboard connected
