There is no set pattern - just that essentially rebooting from a guest often gets caught in that loop.
Sometimes it happens on first reboot, sometimes after 5 - it will happen though.
I happens regardless of how I reboot from the guest...
I have attached a video showing the issue -> out.ogv
In this case I start the vm up - login (via virt-manager) and reboot (once) and it happens (lucky in terms of videoing it)
Could this be connected with the way I clone a template?
On Ubuntu 10.04 I used to use virt-clone - however in Ubuntu 12.04 I can non longer virt-clone into an existing LVM partition so I simply use virt-resize to clone the template (rather than virt-clone) - however I should point out that centos5 vm's are done in the same way and do not have the issue.
