Right I saw that one too, but since it wasn't directly related to this
particular error I "passed" for now, but can generate a separate patch
for that. Unless of course it's felt I should use this opportunity to
handle both.

I also noted there's some inconsistent uses  - some places check the
return of virSaveLastError() before calling virSetError() although it
doesn't seem to cause issues since virCopyError() will "do the right
thing" if the buffer is empty...
