Update:
It's a SELinux labeling problem and seems to be introduced by the
QEMU namespace patches.
I wouldn't guess from the error message that qemu is getting EPERM.
Anyway, the SELinux issue is fixed in -rc2:

qemu: Copy SELinux labels for namespace too
When creating new /dev/* for qemu, we do chown() and copy ACLs to
create the exact copy from the original /dev. I though that
copying SELinux labels is not necessary as SELinux will chose the
sane defaults. Surprisingly, it does not leaving namespace with
the following labels:
crw-rw-rw-. root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 random
crw-------. root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 rtc0
drwxrwxrwt. root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 shm
crw-rw-rw-. root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 urandom
As a result, domain is unable to start:
error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:
Error in GnuTLS initialization: Failed to acquire random data.
qemu-kvm: cannot initialize crypto: Unable to initialize GNUTLS
library: Failed to acquire random data.
The solution is to copy the SELinux labels as well.

My namespace patches should not clash with this as this isn't a device
from /dev/*. In the namespace, it's just /dev that is different to the
parent namespace. So anything else (e.g. under /tmp) is "shared" with
the parent namespace (it is the same mount in fact).

You can try and see if this is a namespace caused issue. Just disable
the namespaces and retry. If it succeeds with namespaces disabled, the
bug indeed is in my namespaces patches.
btw: to disable namespaces set: namespaces=[] in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
