The Core refresh only populates a few values for a VM (name, IP, power state, etc) but the relationship to storage is not part of that process.  A full or targeted refresh would populate the full data about a VM.

The suggested resolution here would be to retry during the CheckProvisioned or later state waiting for the storage name to be populated.
