Fair enough - continue the loop until we find a special character.

Huh?  That is not escaping characters, but omitting them!  This code
seems rather broken; was the intent to add \ escaping before special
characters?

I _really_ want to add something to src/util/util.h that outputs
shell-escaped strings automatically (virCommandToString needs to use it,
and the current 'virsh echo --shell' could share it), so that all
clients that are doing shell escaping use a single entry point rather
than re-coding ad-hoc methods.
