Public bug reported:

During the VM building state, the nova API allows for interface attach
and detach.  It generally does not succeed because the VM may not be
created yet on the hypervisor (ex. the image may be transferring if
using local disks and glance).  Then the VM is brought up as defined by
the original spawn request.  However, the attach_interface request
reported as successful and the VM is reported as having the interface
(even though it does not).

Recommend that this operation be blocked unless the VM is in a specific
state where it is allowed to run.
