FWIW, you use 'managedsave' then you shouldn't use 'restore' - you should just 'start' the guest as normal and libvirt will automagically use the managed save image. Of course this doesn't explain the problem you see - the result of managedsave should be identical to the result of save. They use the same QEMU code internally, the only difference being that in one case you decide the filename and in the other case libvirt decides the filename
