Functionality is present and works (see below), but there is no guide
which explain this particular case(important one IMHO) feel free to add
bug for documentation, or even more, you can send a patch which fix it.

avocado  produces result.xml in xUnit format. Jenkins has rich toolchain
for importing  jUnit/xUnit from external tests. All you need is to add
corresponding hook to your pipeline. In case of junit plugin it will be:
junit '~/avocado/job-results/**'

Hereis a good article about external test integration
