Right, the previous migration must have been started as post-copy, but
resuming it is post-copy too. We could have implied the flag based on
POSTCOPY_RESUME (which is ugly) or all relevant places checking POSTCOPY
would need to check POSTCOPY_RESUME too (which is ugly as well). And
with the expected use case (repeating the failed migration command with
all the flags and arguments and adding an extra POSTCOPY_RESUME flag) in
mind requiring POSTCOPY to be used with POSTCOPY_RESUME looks like the
the best option to me.

Which is what happens in qemuMigrationSrcBegin:

    if (flags & VIR_MIGRATE_POSTCOPY_RESUME) {
        xml = qemuMigrationSrcBeginResumePhase(...);
        goto cleanup;
    }

    ...

Or did I miss anything?

That's what happens in all migration APIs. The goal is to have the
callbacks active only when there is not API running any part of the
migration. Otherwise the API itself will handle the situations cover by
the callbacks. If this is not needed and we are guaranteed the callbacks
cannot be run while a migration API is active or after it already
handled the same situation, we could replace this pattern. Although it
would deserve its own separate series. Also note that in some cases (not
in this particular one, though), we're removing different callabcks then
what we're going to add later.
