The graphics code is complex and there are a lot of exceptions and backward compatible combinations. One of them is the possibility to configure "spice_auto_unix_socket" in qemu.conf which will convert all spice graphics with listen type "address" without any address specified to listen type "socket" when the guest is started. We don't format this generated socket into migratable XML to make migration work with older libvirt. However, spice has another exception that if autoport='no' and there is no port configured it is converted to listen type "none". Because of this we need to format autoport='yes' to make sure that the listen type will be the same as the offline XML.
