Yep.  I have a script[1] doing ping-pong live migration on localhost.
To check out live migration issues I either use a live iso, or do a
fresh install of the guest triggering the issues, with ping-pong live
migration already running during the install.

Any attempt to install fedora doesn't come very far, neither from iso
nor via pxe from network, with all sorts of strange guest behavior
(anaconda crashing or reporting corrupted repodata for example).  Dave
found squashfs errors in the guests kernel log, which explains why
anaconda is crashing.
