If you're still hitting this, please file a libvirt bug and we can
follow up from there, certainly sounds like something weird is going on
I doubt it's a file context issue so a relabel wouldn't help. It's more
of a kernel thing. It's probably controllable via one of the SELinux
virt_* booleans. An AVC denial message would sure help to sort it out.
