I think this is done on purpose, because canceling migration is racy.
Instead, libvirt should do "query-migrate" and check if the migration
was completed or canceled.
Can you please give more details at how you are triggering the problem
with libvirt? I think Paolo is probably right - the bug is more likely
to be in libvirt not expecting the race and not recovering correctly
when the race occurs, than it is to be in changing qemu's state algorithm.
