I've just encountered this same unexpected behaviour (currently on RHEL7
box running libvirt 3.2), and found this thread while searching for a
bug report.

Has this patch been accepted, or the issue fixed in a later release? I
notice there was some confusion in the conversation following as to the
cause of this issue/the fix for it.

If not, is there a bug open against this which I can follow/comment on?

Cheers,

Matthew
