AFAIK, there are 3 options for autostarting domains when the host starts

1. (on_xend_start start) in domU config (as you mentioned)
2. xendomains init script
3. libvirt-guests init script

1) requires xend to successfully start.  I assume that is the case?  Can
you directly edit the domU config with (on_xend_start start) and have it
work?

Right.

Hmm, maybe a regression.  If xend is running and autostart works when
manually adding to domU config, open a bug and provide
/root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log.  virsh output with export
LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 would help tool.
