This isn't a nova issue, this is an issue with screen -X stuff sometimes dropping commands. There is work to change that in devstack / grenade.

For example: http://logs.openstack.org/66/121966/1/check/check-grenade- dsvm/c37f70d/logs/grenade.sh.txt.gz#_2014-09-17_00_16_47_262 The nova-compute process was requested to stop at 16_47, It very much appears that nova-compute was idle at and before this time. http://logs.openstack.org/66/121966/1/check/check-grenade- dsvm/c37f70d/logs/old/screen-n-cpu.txt.gz#_2014-09-17_00_16_28_611 Notice the last log there is from 16_28, nearly 20 seconds before shutdown was requested. About 7 seconds (at 16_53) after being requested to stop via the command at 16_47 it appears like grenade still found nova-compute running. http://logs.openstack.org/66/121966/1/check/check-grenade- dsvm/c37f70d/logs/grenade.sh.txt.gz#_2014-09-17_00_16_53_671 This then causes grenade to fail proceeding forward, and therefore stops the job from declaring success...
