Migrate is a 2-steps process: once the instance reaches the VERIFY_RESIZE stage, you need to run nova resize-confirm if you're happy with the new instance (this will delete the old one), or nova resize-revert if you want to go back to the old instance (this will delete the new one). Migrate and resize use the same mechanism, hence the naming of these 2 commands.

There probably should be something to indicate this in the 'nova help migrate' command, since this is something many people seem to get caught in when first running migrate - myself included.
