Unfortunately, dom.restore doesn't work.  I suspect it is an object lifetime
issue, since once you have done a dom.save, the underlying VM is killed and
I think libvirt will drop the object.

What you really want to use is:

Libvirt::Domain::Restore(conn, "/tmp/puppet-client.state")

Which should do the trick.
