I don't see this. The data has been migrated to the new host. What would we loose? IMHO having 2 virtual host definitions in your net using the same uuid, mac address and storage is just asking for troubles. There is a high risk to start both guests in parallel by accident (corrupting your storage beyond repair), or to manually clean up the wrong guest.

The guest should be powered off but still defined - that's the correct behaviour. Undefining the vm is out of question since you'd lose the configuration data then.

Sorry, but I a not sure that I got you correctly. I just select the guest in the virt-manager gui, click on migrate, and select the new host. I do not know whats happening inside, but I have to assume that it is using libvirt. Do you think this is a problem of virt-manager?

How are you launching the guests? If you use create the should get undefined in case you used start they won't get undefined and shouldn't that's correct.
