I don't think so, based on hazy anecdotal experience and a look at the 
code which does a quota reservation before scheduling and doesn't appear 
to rollback quota in any failure case in conductor:

I still have my Ocata devstack up, so I'll do a test and reply with the 
results for Ocata, Train, and Train + counting from placement.
