I did vaguely remember something about a thing being duplicated into a
another but not enough of the details to reach this conclusion. Thanks
for the tip.

Yes I expect that will work, I'll check and then send an update patch.
This presumably gets us closer to being able to resolve this too:

virReportError(VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED, "%s",
_("Named device aliases are not supported"));
goto cleanup;
}
