I've seen this. I hope some fixes can be back-ported or are sufficiently distinct that users can patch older libvirt releases. Since I have non-HVM hardware and am using F8 for Xen, I often run into a loss of state information about a domain in libvirt. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453276

Restarting xend sometimes helps, but frequently winds up causing another domain to show up as "unknown" in virsh and sometimes a domain will crash.
