I should note, although it's not your fault, that this breaks
libvirt networking.

libvirt needs to add its own firewall rules too, and restarting the
firewall breaks these rules until you restart the libvirt network and
all your VMs.

The root problem here is that our firewall rules aren't composable.
As you can tell by the bug #, this issue has been around for quite a
long time ...
