'git bisect' is a powerful driver that lets you do a binary search through git history to find which patch changed a particular behavior. If you are comfortable using git and building your own libvirt, I can help you come up with a command line to drive the test for looking for where this behavior started.

But even if you are not, it would be nice if you could test a build of libvirt 1.1.0 vs. libvirt 1.1.1; if my guess above was correct, 1.1.0 will not have the problem. Or, if you are comfortable using gdb, it might be nice to step through program execution at the point where qemuMonitorJSONGetObjectListPaths returns failure because qemu didn't support the qom-list command. And if not, the fact that you reported it means that one of the regular developers will hopefully have some time in the near future to further investigate, based on what we've learned so far. At any rate, we should have a fix before releasing libvirt 1.2.2.
