Sounds to me like poor fallback - a patch in libvirt was tested against
a newer version of qemu that provides qom-list, but doesn't gracefully
handle older qemu where it doesn't work.

Are you in a position to bisect which libvirt patch introduced the
problem?  It looks like our first use of qom-list was in 1.1.1, with
commit d76a897.
