The systemd script does call another script in the container. Here, lets
look at this snippet from the systemd script at
https://github.com/openstack/kolla-ansible/blob/master/tools/kolla-libvirt-guests.service
:

ExecStart=-/usr/bin/docker exec nova_libvirt /bin/rm -f
/var/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests
ExecStart=-/usr/bin/docker start nova_compute
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop nova_compute

ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker exec nova_libvirt /bin/sh -x
/usr/libexec/libvirt-guests.sh shutdown

It looks like it removes the libvirt-guests regular script if it's
present when it starts and starts a different script with the shutdown
argument when it stops. This second script is the one missing from my
installed container image, hence why I am confused.
