That seemed to be the case, yes. The snapshots were also restoring the 
VDI size at the time of snapshot. I assume that's intended to make the

I was using Citrix XenCenter as a management GUI, which seems to be 
pretty robust (although occasionally short on error messages).

At the time I was using a local LVM volume (type=ext). I have switched 
to NFS SRs since (to ease pool sharing, mostly).
My query was more that I wanted to know the expected case, not that I'd 
had an anomaly. Thanks for clearing that up!
