launching an instance into a VPC subnet fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a VPC and subnet using the VPC wizard in the aws vpc console
2. Launch an instance (public or otherwise) into vpc using the subnet_id 
parameter in run_instances

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect I get back the instance ID as with a regular EC2 deployment, but 
instead I get the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/faisal/work/boto/boto/ec2/connection.py", line 589, in run_instances
    return self.get_object('RunInstances', params, Reservation, verb='POST')
  File "/Users/faisal/work/boto/boto/connection.py", line 702, in get_object
    raise self.ResponseError(response.status, response.reason, body)
boto.exception.EC2ResponseError: EC2ResponseError: 400 Bad Request
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response><Errors><Error><Code>InvalidParameterCombination</Code><Message>The 
parameter groupName cannot be used with the parameter 
subnet</Message></Error></Errors><RequestID>f7937231-e93b-4027-a648-3ba01a5a3072
</RequestID></Response>

Launching without the subnet_id works fine (into EC2).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm currently on git master.

Please provide any additional information below.

I can generate debug logs and send them if you think it'll help.
