Just to be clear, let me rephrase my update :-

In a setup where the glance-api node handles nova/service interactions and end-user requests, if show_multiple_locations=false (the default) and show_direct_url=false (the default) and the set_image_location policy is admin only (default since Newton); then glance will be able to interact with the vmware datastore correctly, both for snapshots and regular end-user image stuff, and the store is not exposed to this bug.

For the non-default configuration case, I looked at the patch from Mike and IIUC, it verifies that the location URL being added contains the image_id of the image being updated. This patch will work for the VMware driver and no special handling needs to be done as in the case of RBD driver.
