I'm not convinced.  I didn't see an error without -s 4, it just said
something like "using --force, but you didn't answer a question - how
big do you want the file to be".  When I answered the question I got
the same behaviour.

I'll try to recreate it when I have the chance.  But virt-install
can't create a logical volume, can it?  So it should give an error: no
such logical volume.
