As I understand it, RequiresMountsFor is supposed to handle that.  With that,
systemctl show libvirt-guests also has:

Requires=var-lib-libvirt-qemu-save.mount -.mount var.mount basic.target
After=machine-qemu\x5cx2d5\x5cx2dipa\x5cx2dboulder2.scope -.mount
machine-qemu\x5cx2d4\x5cx2dad\x5cx2dboulder02.scope basic.target system.slice
systemd-journald.socket machine-qemu\x5cx2d3\x5cx2dmailmirror.scope var.mount
time-sync.target machine-qemu\x5cx2d2\x5cx2dvulcan7.scope libvirtd.service
machine-qemu\x5cx2d1\x5cx2dmock1.scope network.target
var-lib-libvirt-qemu-save.mount

but I get:

Jul 12 10:19:15 saga systemd: Stopping Suspend Active Libvirt Guests...
Jul 12 10:19:16 saga libvirt-guests.sh: Running guests on default URI: mock1,
vulcan7, mailmirror, ad-boulder02, ipa-boulder2

Jul 12 10:19:16 saga libvirt-guests.sh: Suspending guests on default URI...
Jul 12 10:19:16 saga libvirt-guests.sh: Suspending mock1: ...
Jul 12 10:19:16 saga blkdeactivate: [UMOUNT]: unmounting vg_data-save (dm-32)
mounted on /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save... done
...

I wonder if libvirt-guests being of type oneshot is affecting this.
