These sound like bugs in virt-manager not libvirt itself. You can set
the emulator in the domain XML at any time, not sure if this works via
virt-manager though.

However i386 not being listed although it's listed in

    virsh capabilities

looks like a bug (and I can reproduce this here). Not sure when I will
get around to look into this though.
