virt-v2v-0.8.5-2 should hit updates-testing shortly. Please try again 
with this new build. There's no need to rebuild your P2V image as it 
hasn't changed.

Please add yourself to 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=767197 if you want to follow 
its progress through testing to stable. If you have a Fedora login, you 
can help it reach stable faster by adding a WorksForMe comment to 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/virt-v2v-0.8.5-2.fc16.
