I also hit this issue.  It's not 100% reproducible for me, but almost.
In a production cluster hosting virtual machines it leads to cluster
fencing, ie. hard reboot of the affected host machine, as its VMs become
unmanageable when libvirtd dies.  So I consider this a serious bug, but
also an easy to fix one: upstream already fixed it as noted in the
upstream tracker (altough an unrelated commit is mentioned there by
mistake; I included the fixed line based on that info, not on testing).

I wonder why the original report indicated version 0.9.12-11.1, did that
version officially exist?  On the other hand, it's actually the version
given to my locally modified package (with the attached patch added to
fix this bug).  Anybody interested can get it from:
deb(-src) http://apt.niif.hu/debian wheezy main

As this bug affects wheezy, I hereby plea for including the fix in a
stable update.
