You may have just mixed up the sections the options go in.

    [libvirt]
    # Libvirt domain type (valid options are: kvm, lxc, qemu, uml,
    # xen) (string value)
    # Deprecated group/name - [DEFAULT]/libvirt_type
    #virt_type=kvm

So, the old option was:

    [DEFAULT]
    libvirt_type=kvm

The new option is:

    [libvirt]
    virt_type=kvm
