my suggestion was not to move it *into* the eval block, but next to the 
*start* of the eval block, like so:

        my $newconf = {};
        my $mountpoints = {};
        my $fullclone = {};
        my $vollist = [];
        my $running;

        my $src_conf = PVE::LXC::Config->set_lock($vmid, 'disk');

        $running = PVE::LXC::check_running($vmid) || 0;

        my $full = extract_param($param, 'full');
        if (!defined($full)) {
            $full = !PVE::LXC::Config->is_template($src_conf);
        }

        my $lock_and_reload = sub {
            my ($vmid, $code) = @_;
            return PVE::LXC::Config->lock_config($vmid, sub {
                my $conf = PVE::LXC::Config->load_config($vmid);
                die "Lost 'create' config lock, aborting.\n"
                    if !PVE::LXC::Config->has_lock($conf, 'create');
                return $code->($conf);
            });
        };

        PVE::LXC::Config->create_and_lock_config($newid, 0);
        PVE::Firewall::clone_vmfw_conf($vmid, $newid);

  # error handling for this block will cleanup configs
        eval {
            die "parameter 'storage' not allowed for linked clones\n"
                if defined($storage) && !$full;


to reduce the chances of re-introducing the bug by adding potentially 
failing calls between create_and_lock_config and the eval block. and now 
that I took a second look I realized that clone_vm_fw_conf is exactly 
such a call, and should therefore be moved into the eval ;)
