It is already handled by libvirt, indeed.
Basically, "-incoming" without "-S" is a broken option because of the
missing handshake at the end of migration. With "-S" something else
(either a human or a program) can check that everything went well and
choose whether to restart the source or the destination.

In order to make live upgrade reliable, it should.
