Yep. I mentioned this in the comment:

"It appears libvirt w/ qemu does not support dynamic updating of virtual 
net devices in 0.8.1 so CreateInstance() will still fail (but not crash) 
in that version. Looking for alternatives to provide dynamic support and 
will post in a follow-on patch. "

You should be seeing an error message like "failed to dynamically update 
device". I'm working on a separate patch for that now along with write 
support for filter rules.
