Description of problem: I don't have much more information about this than in the summary. Setting NEEDINFO to get more information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.16.5 (RHEL 6.3 preview package)
1 - Grab the sysprep tools from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=11282 2 - Create a sysprep.inf file.

I can reproduce this.
However I cannot fix it. I added an ntfsfix binding: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-February/msg00109.html I tried modifying virt-resize so that it calls ntfsfix after resizing ntfs partitions. However that did not fix the problem. I also tried running ntfsfix after seeing the UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME error, however that just made the guest hang during boot.
I've cloned this for upstream (bug 797986). Although I will keep looking at this bug, I don't see any easy fix that we can implement in the next few days, so I am (tentatively) moving this to 6.4.
We seem to have a fix for this (just a small doc change).
