Hi,

I've encountered this in my own testing and have found that it appears 
to be tied to libvirt.

When I hit this, reset-state as the admin user reports success (and 
state is set), *but* things aren't really working as advertised and 
subsequent attempts to do anything with the errant vm's will send them 
right back into 'FLAIL' / can't delete / endless DELETING mode.

restarting libvirt-bin on my machine fixes this - after restart, the 
deleting vm's are properly wiped without any further user input to 
nova/horizon and all seems right in the world.

using:
devstack
ubuntu 14.04
libvirtd (libvirt) 1.2.2

triggered via:
lots of random create/reboot/resize/delete requests of varying validity 
and sanity.

Am in the process of cleaning up my test code so as not to hurt anyone's 
brain with the ugly and will file a bug once done, but thought this 
worth sharing.

Thanks,
Patrick
