It seems to be a result of a bit naive behavior of the kvm2ovirt module
that tries to download only the top-level volume the VM uses, assuming each
of the disks to be imported is comprised of a single volume.

Maybe it's time to finally asking QEMU guys to provide a way to consume the
'collapsed' form of a chain of volumes as a stream if that's not available
yet? ;) It can also boost the recently added process of exporting VMs as
OVAs...
