Clicked on File menu and chose New Virtual Machine which offers an import option. You might want to try by avoiding this option. Copy the disk image and just create a new VM. While asking for a disk, provide the copy of the image. I wonder if you have a recent declared ABI.

It comes from the import but I wonder if default value hurts the guest. You have to check what is pc-i440fx-2.3 by yourself or ask the libvirt mailing list.
