I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but I'd say that if the guest
is echo'ing back commands the host sends, then the guest is broken
and we shouldn't workaround that in libvirt. Or perhaps something
about the hypervisor data channel over which the guest agent is
running is running.

Seeing data echo'd back suggests use of a PTY which has not been
put into raw mode, or something like that.
