Sigh. Unfortunately, this is a bug that wasn't found until after 0.10.2
was released. It's fixed in the current upstream sources though:

    Correct checking of virStrcpyStatic() return value
   
    Correct the check for the return value of virStrcpyStatic()
    when copying port-profile names. Fixes Open vSwitch ports
    which utilize port-profiles from network definitions.
   
This will be in the next release (1.0.0 in a couple weeks) or you can
build the latest upstream (or apply that one patch to the 0.10.2 sources).
