and one more:

boot from image (create a new volume) doesn't work either: it leads to a VM 
that complains about a non-bootable disk (just like the ISO case). This is 
actually and improvement: earlier, nova was waiting for ages for an image to be 
created (I guess that this is the result of the glance -> cinder RBD 
improvements)
