Yes, it's a known bug (and is fixed upstream):

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1315606

Rich W.M. Jones informed on IRC a little while ago that the fix for the
above bug is included in the current libvirt packages in F24/Rawhide.

I've just installed it, and it fixes the bug for me:

    $ rpm -q libvirt
    libvirt-1.3.2-2.fc25.x86_64

    $ rpm -q libvirt --changelog | head -2
    * Wed Mar 09 2016 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones at redhat.com> - 1.3.2-2
    - Add fix for RHBZ#1315606.
