I've decided to go with this as it's here with the option to fix this in 
a later patch:
My idea is to print warnings/errors when the api call fails and continue 
with the default values. This will notify the user that something has 
failed, but will produce the list. Will this solution be OK?

I've fixed the leak, typos and changed the filter group matching to 
macros provided in virdomainlist.h and pushed.
