[libvirt] NetworkManager git20121211

I needed some functionality (dynamic dns update) not available in the 
NetworkManager package available in Fedora 18 so I created my own 
version based on git20121130.  This worked nicely providing the 
functionality and did not appear to have any bad side effects.

Then the NetworkManager git20121211 package appeared in rawhide it is 
usually better to use a package available from Fedora.  So, I got the 
source rpm and rebuilt it for Fedora 18.

This appeared to work fine until I realized that all of the virtual 
networks did not have the expected IPv4 addresses.  Surprisingly, if 
IPv6 was defined for a network, it was there.

After some investigation, I could only see that NetworkManager may be 
the problem.  I downgraded to the git20121130 package and rebooted.  The 
virtual networks were now OK.

Any suggestions on how to report this problem? (against what and what 
release?)

I am effectively cross-posting by sending identical messages to the 
NetworkManager and libvirt mailing lists.  Yes, I believe the problem is 
with NetworkManager but there is a large libvirt impact.
