I don't know if the solution to this is to modify libvirt so that it rewrites the XML for a network if it has to auto-generate any attributes[*], or to put a canned/static uuid value in the installed xml, or just to declare that we don't care if the uuid changes from one run of libvirtd to the next. But definitely these patches change behavior, so we probably need to point that out and maybe discuss it.
