You're running in privilged mode, this requires
libvirt-daemon-system. You need to run in session mode if you want to
do without libvirt-daemon-system (and the user shipped by it).

Because it shouldn't. The user is only needed when running the daemon
as root and this is what libvirt-daemon-system is for. It will then
also ship the necessary configs in etc. So I don't see a bug here.
