Confirmed: 
The novaclient uses only one instance to show the progress [1] and
doesn't consider the real number of created instances. AFAIK the REST
API to create instances will always return the first instance and not
a full list of all created instances. Blueprints to change that [2]
didn't get implemented. There was a bug about that too (within the 
last 12 months) but I don't find it anymore. IIRC we accept this
behavior, but don't pin me down on this.

However, there is the REST API request parameter "return_reservation_id"
which could maybe used in the python-novaclient to list all instances
matching this reservation_id [3]. And then the progress can be polled
per instance. If this would make the testing more reliable it's worth
a shot IMO.

Title:
  Wait for all success after nova boot with poll

Status in python-novaclient:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Now we can use nova boot with poll parameter for one instance. But if
  we want to boot multiple instances, it return whenever the first
  instance succeeds or fails.

  It would be much better for testing to return the result of all
  instance when boot with max and min parameters.
