NACK.  Based on subsequent discussion on v2, this should instead be
something like:

To avoid corrupting file system contents within the guest, you should
not reuse a saved state file after a successful restore unless you have
also taken steps to revert the guest's storage volumes back to the
contents they had when the domain state file was created.
