The obvious answer is to have Horizon show whatever nova-client would show here. However, given that these things now stay around forever, I would argue that the functionality within nova-client itself is suspect and that perhaps there should be a flag to show instances/volumes with an error state.
Otherwise something that fails just stays around forever, which is certainly not desirable.
