This is a bug and has been reported upstream, it is unlikely to be fixed
at the distribution level and therefore anyone interested in working on
this bug should contribute a patch to the upstream project. This will
then filter down to Ubuntu when it is merged mainline. Marking "Won't
Fix" against the Ubuntu package.
Thanks for reporting this bug.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: kvm
Using
migrate "exec:cat > foo; false"
in the monitor results in the state of the VM being written to foo, as
expected, and the VM then being stopped. This is surprising, as I think it
stands to reason that in case of a failed migrate-exec process, which is what a
non-zero exit status implies to me, the VM should continue.
