The virDomainDetachDeviceFlags API is asynchronous and requires a cooperative guest to complete. It merely injects an ACPI PCI unplug request to the guest OS. If the guest OS doesn't honour this request (because it is in early bootup, or is in BIOS, or is crashed, or is configured to disable hotplug, or is maliciously not responding), then the device will never be unplugged, and so you'll never get an event. So the first thing for you todo is to validate that the device really is being unplugged in the guest OS, and in QEMU. To check QEMU run: virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp $GUEST "info pci" and look to see if the PCI device is still listed in the output.
