I think the issue here is that libvirtd didn't die properly when I ran
service libvirt-bin stop.  As a consequence, I had to kill it off with
/bin/kill and when I started it manually using the formula from the
wiki, it worked fine.  Since the process ID was 1355, and I have the max
process ID set to 1048575, the service almost certainly had not been
restarted since I originally booted my laptop, which was before the
libvirt-bin upgrade.  For some reason, libvirtd is not being stopped and
restarted properly.

If this is a bug in systemd, please feel free to reassign it there.
