Problem. This is how things get installed:
# ls -ld /etc/libvirt/ /etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf
/bin/virt-login-shell
-rwsr-x---. 1 root virtlogin 891744 Dec 4 01:37 /bin/virt-login-shell
drwx------. 6 root root 4096 Dec 23 13:22 /etc/libvirt/
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1244 Dec 23 13:22
/etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf
But looking at main():

So root cannot run this program...

...and non-root invariably fails here, since login_shell_path
(/etc/libvirt/virt-login-shell.conf) is buried inside a directory that
is not searchable by either root or virtlogin.
How on earth did you test this program? It flat out doesn't work,
unless we change our installation permissions. Never mind that we also
broke it while trying to fix CVE-2013-4400 - even with that damage
fixed, this shell is completely worthless out of the box for all
released versions of libvirt.
