Hi Jon,

Effectively, a bug [1] was identified. When DHCP agent is down because its
overloaded, Neutron agent will not send update to that agent and doesn't
raise the problem.
I submitted small patch to a warning log but I abandoned it to propose
another one (not yet finish) which will raise an exception and destroy the
created port.
