The problem is that you are not freeing the virDomainPtr object
after you undefine the first VM. Libvirt caches virDomainPtr objects
based on the 'name' value. So the second time around you are getting
the cached handle. You are also leaking memory.

You need to call

  virDomainFree(virDomainPtr dom)

to actually release the handle.
