When changing saved state permissions after 'virsh save' to 0644 'virsh
restore' does cleanly start the vm. This means at least network
connection is working (ping/ssh). But vnc monitor in virt-manager is
still showing weird content as described before.

I think there are some file permission problems when acting with
kvm/qemu instance. When I instruct libvirt to snapshot a vm to file the
snapshot-file is first written by libvirt (the header) and then the
content is attached via another process called from libvirt, isn't it
that way?
This could have some connection to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575824
This issue could be the same thing vice versa.
