I did just that, i.e. I used virt-convert 0.600.4 from
virt-manager-1.1.0 (while I left the installed libvirt packages at
1.2.9) and the same issue happens again.

I'm puzzled. Does this mean no one uses virt-convert to convert from OVA
to virt-image?

I know it's not the problem in the virtual appliance because I can
extract its disk image and convert it to qcow2 with:

qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 appliance.vmdk appliance.qcow2

and then create a virtual machine by providing the converted disk and
things work normally. But I'd like to avoid this workaround if possible.
