It seems the problem is a race with _sync_instance_power_state.

In rebuild_instance, after the rebuild is finished, if the original vm_state was STOPPED, it sets task_state to POWERING_OFF and calls stop_instance.

In the nova-compute log I see the message from _sync_instance_power_state, "Instance is not stopped. Calling the stop API." [1] It observed vm_state STOPPED and power state not off from the driver, and called compute api force_stop [2] which sets task_state to POWERING_OFF again and stops it again.
