This could be only partially related at best, but I think virt-manager
also uses libvirt. I remember trying virt-manager on 10.04 and the pvm
would disappear from the manager gui's list right after starting it.  It
would be interesting to see if any of the steps in your guide has a
positive effect on that as well.
