That's how I discover the problem ;-)

Everything was running fine until ... I had to reboot the server! VMs 
are started automatically but libvirtd will not start.

In your doggy workaround ;-) libvirtd will NOT start because of the 
missing listen_addr.

That's why I was thinking that libvirt start networks *before* it take 
care of listen_addr or perhaps listen_addr shouldn't cancel the start of 
libvirt (delay it) until network is up and then check if listen_addr is 
in error or not.
