This was premature. You need to squash this in:
diff --git a/src/conf/domain_conf.c b/src/conf/domain_conf.c
index 2448a37..6562157 100644
--- a/src/conf/domain_conf.c
+++ b/src/conf/domain_conf.c
@@ -5781,7 +5781,7 @@ virDomainDiskDiffersSourceOnly(virDomainDiskDefPtr disk,
"blkdeviotune size_iops_sec",
true);
- if (disk->transient && STRNEQ(disk->transient, orig_disk->transient)) {
+ if (disk->transient != orig_disk->transient) {
virReportError(VIR_ERR_OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED,
_("cannot modify field '%s' of the disk"),
"transient");
disk->transient is a bool, not string.
