The block size is the same, 4096 bytes. I did some other investigation and it seems the problem happens only with VM disk images internally formatted with a blocksize of 1024 bytes. There are no problems with disk images formatted with a block size on 4096 bytes. Anyway, I don't know if this is a coincidence. Do you think this could be the origin of the problem? If so, how can I solve it? In the links posted by Vijay someone suggests to start the VM with cache != none but this will prevent live migration, AFAIK. Another solution may be to recreate the volume backing it with XFS partitions formatted with a different block size (smaller? 1024 bytes?), this would be a painful option, but if this will solve the problem, I go for it.
A lower sector size (512) for xfs has been observed to be useful in overcoming this problem.
Another solution might be to use logical_block_size=4096 option as referred here [1].
