However, after this point, virsh domstate <domain> provides the state "in shutdown". From what I read, this is only supposed to persist for more than a tiny fraction of a second if there was a problem killing qemu or cleaning up its resources which, to my knowledge, should not apply here since there is no killing of qemu involved, just an acpi signal sent to the domain. Am I wrong? Either way, the only way to run any start/stop type commands with virsh after running the reboot command is to destroy the domain, obviously not very practical.

Hi,

this is already a known issue and there is already a fix for that in
upstream <e47949357ba268e7e8c3adea7c262b84fa002302> [1].

There is no known workaround, you need to create a bug for arch linux to
backport this patch or wait for new version of libvirt to be released.
