This is likely the LXC monitor disappearing. Looks like something killed
the container (either from inside or outside) and libvirtd lost
connecton to the controller process running inside and thus cleaned it
up. The question is, who is killing the container. If you run 'ps' on
the host do you see processes running inside the container/containers?

There was a problem with our event loop when we switched to glib, but
those are fixed upstream. Do you mind trying just released
libvirt-6.1.0? It can be found in the virt-preview repo [1].
