Here are the results:

* Ocata behavior, unscheduled ERROR instance consumes quota usage for 
instances, cores, and ram: http://paste.openstack.org/show/749406

* Train behavior, unscheduled ERROR instance consumes quota usage for 
instances, cores, and ram: http://paste.openstack.org/show/749407

* Train behavior + counting from placement, consumes quota usage for 
instances (API database) but not for cores and ram (placement 
allocations): http://paste.openstack.org/show/749408
