it's not a bug, since we using RESTful api, you get resource representation
which is holding vm metadata relevant only for the given moment,

if you want to poll this vm for the status change, you'll have to retrieve
it on each iteration.

not relevant to vm execution, but we also have /sync execution mode/ (mostly
on storage related actions, see our user guide [1]), so you can block
action till it get accomplished on server side.
