your partition table for hd{a,b} within the guest is also now wrong. the  
"correct" way to add more space is to add another disk and then use LVM  
inside the guest to add space to filesystems.

Semantically there is no difference. The guest's view of the disks is  
going to be wrong no matter if the source is a file or LVM item.
