For the hardware that has fake coalescing, HV wouldn't know it anyway without doing pre verification.
And HV may not migrate in such case for best experience.
HV may choose to migrate with low accuracy as you say, which is fine.

But the spec guidance for the device implementations is to promote some reasonable level of accuracy.
Hard to define in words here.
Best effort is wide spectrum of range. :)

Typically, we say in the spec as SHOULD. 
So, lets skip the best-effort wording and stick to SHOULD part like rest of the spec.
