I located a running devstack based on master, the nova repo was using commit 
633c817d from Nov 12.

It behaved the same...I jacked up the quotas to give it space, then ran:

nova boot --flavor m1.xlarge --image cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec --min-count 1 
--max-count 20 blah


The first nine instances scheduled successfully, the next one failed the 
RamFilter filter, and all the instances went to the "error" state.

This is what we'd expect given that in ComputeTaskManager.build_instances() if 
the call to self._schedule_instances() raises an exception we'll hit the 
"except" clause and loop over all the instances, setting them to the error 
state.  And down in FilterScheduler.select_destinations() we will raise an 
exception if we couldn't schedule all the hosts:

if len(selected_hosts) < num_instances:
	<snip>
	reason = _('There are not enough hosts available.')
	raise exception.NoValidHost(reason=reason)
