This may be the same bug, we must inspect the logs to be sure. Typically the merge succeeds in vdsm side, but from some reason the engine fail to detect the merge success and mark the volumes as illegal. It is possible to unlink a file while it is being used by another process. The directory entry is removed so another process cannot access the file, but processes that already opened the file are not affected. But this looks like the live merge issue, not like your backup script trying too hard. Please file a bug and attach the files there.
