We cannot stop VM[ConsoleProxy|v-*-VM] when it is in state Starting

Hi all,

I have the following issue:
After emergency reboot of hypervisor node (i.e. reset via ipmi), system vms
got stuck in "starting state":


When I look onto console through vnc I see either prompt for fsck or errors
related to r/o mounted root fs:


There is no way to destroy vm either from web interface or api
(cloudmonkey):

 cloudmonkey> destroy systemvm id=eb3adb37-96d1-4785-884d-5958526b75fc
Async query failed for jobid 3c2fd0d7-a0a0-427a-ae3e-dda96b7cf9e0
Error 530 We cannot stop VM[ConsoleProxy|v-1058-VM] when it is in state
Starting
 cloudmonkey>

I have to manually update state in mysql before I am able to destroy this
vm:

mysql> update vm_instance set state='Stopped' where name='v-1058-VM';
\Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 0

 cloudmonkey> destroy systemvm id=eb3adb37-96d1-4785-884d-5958526b75fc

First question is: why cloudstack does not handle such vm start errors ?

Second question is: how to force deletion of such VMs without mysql hack ?

environment:
CS 4.0.1, Centos 6.4 (management+node1+node2), OpenIndiana NFS server as
primary and secondary storage
