No, usually people just do a "smoke test" using their favorite distro and/or Windows. More complete integration testing of i386/x86-64 images is done with virt-test, which supports a variety of distros. The closest thing to a reference image is virt-test's "JeOS" image at http://lmr.fedorapeople.org/jeos/jeos-17-64.qcow2.7z (should probably be added to the list...), currently based on Fedora 17.
