Well, I found the proximate cause:

2013-02-14 11:01:56,697 (console:1116): Starting connect process for
proto=spice trans=ssh connhost=t510.icp.selfip.net connuser=root
connport=None gaddr=0.0.0.0 gport=5900 gsocket=None

2013-02-14 11:01:56,698 (console:532): spice uri:
spice://t510.icp.selfip.net?port=5900

(virt-manager:14991): GSpice-WARNING **: Could not connect to
t510.icp.selfip.net: No route to host

So it's failing because iptables is blocking port 5900.

This seems wrong, however.  Shouldn't the SPICE connection be going over
the same SSH tunnel as libvirt?

Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying.
