Update: 1.0.3 still fails to boot an LXC container on Gentoo Linux.

Libvirt 1.0.3 appeared in Gentoo Portage this morning.  I updated my
host's kernel to 3.7.10 and libvirt from 1.0.0 to 1.0.3.  I still
cannot boot an LXC container.  This exact same container was working
fine 30 minutes ago on libvirt 1.0.0.

I tried both the "libvirt-1.0.3" ebuild and the "libvirt-9999" ebuild
(get most recent master branch from git).  Both produce the same
results.
