Public bug reported:

When the periodic task ran it detected that an instance was in a conflicting state. That is Nova was under the impression that the instance was running and it was actually not. This was due to an outage on the backend. When the instance was starting up again the period task forced the instance to shutdown.
In some cases this is too extreme and the admin should decide on the action to take.
