virt-clone doesn't have any snapshot support at the moment.

Libvirt's storage support now has some snapshot awareness (though I'm
not fully certain yet how it all works). If libvirt eventually gets a
storage volume clone API, we could probably tie the two together and
offer an option to use a snapshot as a clone, rather than a full device
duplication.
