Yes, I'd call it user error. Moreover, deletion is a special case - Linux (and other POSIX compliant OSes) are perfectly comfortable with deleting a file while copying it. In other cases, users should get an sys error once libvirt tries to unlink() the file. But then again, even reaching this point is user error.

However, if we want to keep status quo, I'm okay with squashing this in:
