This rules out the recent kernel update then- 4.14.18-1 is the older one.

Yes, this approach should work but you'll have to use mount commands (and
possibly LVM) directly. Look in /dev/mapper/ to see if your -private
volumes are listed. If so, you should be able to do something like "mount
/dev/mapper/guest-private /mnt" (do a "mkdir mnt" first), then copy the
files out. "umount /mnt" when done and repeat for the next volume.

If you don't see the /dev/mapper/ entries, look into LVM commands like
vgscan and kpartx.
