I don't know whether or not we decided this was a bug, but I have filed one anyway:
Your XML does not conform to the libvirt domain XML schema which always called for an absolute path as we do with all paths in the domain XML:
<group> <attribute name="transport"> <value>unix</value> </attribute> <attribute name="socket"> <ref name="absFilePath"/> </attribute> </group>
We just did not validate this particular code path in the parser itself (when the domain schema validation is not used).
Sure. Libvirt does need to validate the paths because it's possible that the *wrong* path will be opened if a relative path is used, eg. if a socket with the same name happens to exist in "/" (or whatever is the working directory that libvirt changes to).
