To respond to my own question, other people seem to have encountered this issue, see this libvirt bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/996840

There's a workaround proposed by Hendrik Volkmer in the comments of the report, I've tried it out and it works. For the code change, see https://github.com/nimbis/nova/commit/9311f21e2e17

Not pretty, but it works.

Take care,

Lorin
