Why ?

Ubuntu 14.04 's /etc/issue.net does not support execution of any code. When Shellshock was patched, possibly this feature has been died. You can not get any actual execution of even native features written in the manual page.

How to fix this no colorized output on Ubuntu 14.04 SSH pre-login ?

May be, it will open the Shellshock bug in a different form. It is not bash which makes it colorful. It is another shell named getty. On FreeBSD, you will a better detail of this getty : https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=getty&sektion=8
Ubuntu's manual is not helpful - http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/man8/getty.8.html
You will see, getty variant has bugs for /etc/issue.net
There are Grandfathers - Linus Torvalds or Richard Stallman. Probably in their direction, something has been changed drastically to prevent leaving a backdoor wide open.

If you find an easy solution that is great, please post here. But it is not normal that even the man page's default stuffs are not working.
