It needs to lookup the bus/device at VM startup time, so it can set
permissions on the device node.
Check your VM XML (not from /etc/libvirt, but from virsh dumpxml $vmname), and
ensure that the bus/device didn't get encoded somehow.
This is the output from virsh dumpxml vmclient, with client off
(can't start because of said error):

It must be me but I have not seen anything that is trying down that
usb device to a given bus/device. I will also check the vmhost's logs
to see if there is any funny business there.
