As far as I understand, this test shouldn't even exist in scope of tempest, because you can't guarantee that backend will be slow to process the request. This kind of interaction would be better served by a test with better execution flow control. I am not sure if glance have those, but in neutron realm it would be a functional test with backend persistence artificially slowed down.

I briefly looked at the test case, and it seems to me that it may happen when the image snapshot is produced quicker than tempest being able to catch the intermittent transition. If so, the test case may need a refinement to check that a snapshot was produced and not that the state was in SAVING for some time.
