One weird thing is that if the guest has 4GB of RAM, how come it has
tmpfs mounted with the size of 7.1G?  And with shared memory the size
of 3.4GB.

How did you enable the logging?  Have a look at our wiki [1] in case
of troubles with that.  And "unexpectedly failed" means libvirt won't
know why it happened, but probably there could be something in the
domain log (what QEMU spat out), see /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<domainnamehere>.log
