It is an upstream bug:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-02/msg02527.html
Distros should probably be backporting that particular patch, but
there's still the question of whether we should deal with it in libvirt
because it is upstream.
Well it is a bug on only one branch of upstream, that was promptly
fixed, so I still don't think we should complicate libvirt by dealing
with it. It is trivial for QEMU maintainers to fix
