Judging by the output of libguestfs-test-tool, this has fixed
the launch problem.

^ This seems to be the pertinent error.

IIRC you can edit the /etc/virt-v2v.conf XML configuration file to add
this guest, but Matt will have more details (he's not around until
tomorrow).  I wonder if this version of virt-v2v didn't know about
Windows 2008 R1.  RHEL 6.4 is about to be released and it has a newer
version, but you'll have to ask Matt if that will fix it.
