That sounds like a reasonable option. How far back is the shared disk type supported? As of Icehouse (the oldest supported version I believe), the minimum supported libvirt version is 0.9.6. It would be simpler if it could be a simple change that doesn't have to be if/else'd for different libvirt versions.

Sounds reasonable to me. Although I'm worried that there might be users
using network disk, supplying different XML on migration, where the disk
is switched to yet non-existent network disk, expecting libvirt/qemu to
copy the data.
The other option is: libvirt won't copy shared or read only disks. So
OpenStack would mark network disks as shared.
One way or another - do you want to propose a patch or should I do that?
