Thanks for your reply Martin.
Interestingly, I checked some of my xml, and they had <on_shutdown/>
in there next to <on_poweroff/>
These vms have been running for years and I might have even migrated
them from Xen's xm configs to libvirt / kvm at one point.

virsh dumpxml confirms that this element is just ignored, so no harm done.
