Bug Description

If a machine fails to provision cleanly that machine is stuck in juju status permanently, even if the underlying nova instance has been deleted. This results in juju status output such as:
  "24":
    agent-state: pending
    instance-id: f8784048-6dfe-4f65-b717-8c216cb585d3
    instance-state: missing
    life: dying
    series: precise
    hardware: arch=amd64 cpu-cores=2 mem=1024M root-disk=51200M

Running juju destroy-machine for that machine returns without errors, but also doesn't remove the machine. Is there a way to remove these from juju status and/or should they eventually expire?
