Bug Description
When you have on compute node unmanaged instance (not created with OS) it would be expected that it's ignored by OpenStack, but in case when it's name (e.g. instance-00000015) is same as the name openstack allocated to the new instance it will act very bad.
At first attempt the deployment will fail, and the unmanaged instance will be destroyed (probably because compute wants to remove leftovers of the failed deployment). After that at the next attempt the instance will be created.
At the end user will have a new instance managed by openstack that replaced former unmanaged instance (has same name) in libvirt without single notification to user.

Might be a simple fix: verify that the domain name does not exist before attempting to create the domain. However, there might be a performance hit, since there is an extra look up now :(
