This plan is completely bogus. Why is it choosing to write to the
output file?
I think what's happened here is that when I rewrote the planner
weights
(https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/a6a982f004ac0e861d1889219...)
it has exposed a latent bug.
It should be dropping any plan which involves running virt-resize on a
same-named file, since that is impossible. Probably adjusting the
weights caused that plan to become the best one, exposing the
(existing) bug.
I'll have to think about this one ...
