virt-clone is a separate package from libvirt, I'm hoping that someone on the virt-tools-list has more insight into whether this was an accidental regression.
I think an important thing to point out is that virt-clone is just a fancy way of copying (ie. dd) the data, plus it makes a handful of changes to the libvirt config. You can do most of this by alternate means.
Previously could just make a 20GB partition and use virt-resize to expand into - using the above method I would have to increase the LVM to the value I want minus the size of the template.. i.e I have to specify - the amount to increase by, rather than the final size I want.... The templates also change size (when I update them, etc) which would mean re-writting the script after every update.
So I'm not really clear why you don't just use virt-resize as before. There's not much point in doing virt-clone + virt-resize, since virt-resize itself does a copy. Maybe you should explain exactly what overall goal you're trying to achieve, instead of how you're currently trying to do it.
