This is unfortunately pre-existing behavior that we can't change. Some versions of qemu don't support reporting of successful detach using the event infrastructure, thus we can't ever know when that was successful. Applications which need to be sure that the device was detached need to register handlers for the libvirt device detached event. NACK, this is broken behavior, but can't be changed.
