A strategy we are making in Nova (WIP) is to allow instance termination no matter what. Perhaps a similar strategy could be adopted for volumes too?

I'm always worried that I'll screw something up due to my incomplete understanding of the database schema.
Agreed. I think that the DELETE API calls should support a "force" parameter that would stop any pending operation, cleanup any mess, and delete the resource.
The fact that nova-manage volume delete works is really just because the nova-manage tool talks directly to the database, and I know that Vish and others are keen to have all tools speak only the REST APIs and not any backdoor interfaces or database queries directly...
