It is a normal limitation, detail could be found by below: https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/I_created_an_external_snapshot,_but_libvirt_won%27t_let_me_delete_or_revert_to_it There should be a fate buried somewhere, but you are right, we should point it out, I will update our doc asap. Thanks for the report.
