Re:  Weird behaviour regarding nova image-create
  
Thanks to praefect, 
I figured that was related to the pending I/O
so before creating the image, into the instance, run a $ sync
which forces the pending I/O to be written to disk
The novaclient dev. did an awesome job to make it possible so easily , compared to the old way (euca-bundle; etc....)
