Thanks again for this suggestion, Albert. Following this discussion I
went ahead and amended the Beta criteria to:

The release must be able host virtual guest instances of the same
release, using Fedora's current preferred virtualization technology

The release must install and boot successfully as a virtual guest in a
situation where the virtual host is running the previous stable Fedora
release, using Fedora's current preferred virtualization technology

This should cover all the situations it's intended to cover.
