While this is correct in general, it still doesn't explain why it worked 
when I tested it. My code contains exactly the same safety check.

As a side note: that safety check is not concerned with preventing 
double use by both the guest and host OS. It simply checks that there 
are no snapshots of such raw disks present (as the current code wouldn't 
be able to handle them).
