Yeah, to be perfectly frank, the fact that the destination of the migration
tells us the hostname to migrate to is actually a design bug in the live
migration protocol.  I tried to do something like you suggest, but I
couldn't come up with a way that would support both old and new clients
and servers and not be qemu-specific.  For now, I think this is the best
we can do.  I think the correct answer in the medium to long term is to
make tunnelled migration the default, since we are already certain that
the libvirt control channel works.
