As far as I remember the two general's problem talks about unreliable channel, not unreliable nodes. Why not having destination send ACK/NACK to the source when it knows that migration succeeded/failed. If source gets NACK it continues, if it gets ACK it exits, otherwise it stays in paused state. Yes, there are worst case scenarios where this will not work, but it will not be worse then what we have now.
Also, this can be done in a per-protocol manner. TCP and Unix socket migration would support it, while exec (and maybe fd) migration would not.
