This is the place to look at for fixes:

If you beat me and submit something upstream before I get to this please

Bryce, thanks for considering this. Christian, thank you for valuable
information on the reality of bugfixing in this area. This is not a
stopper for us since we run a small amount of "heavy" VMs per
hypervisor. I'll take a look at ways to fix this, but can't promise it
would be very soon.

This will be the same in all versions I have ever seen @Bryce.
Usually in my impression no one really cares about libvirt-guests.sh
except bugs driven through Distro bug reports (of the last 9 changes 8
are Ubuntu and one is Suse). And even less for parallel as Ubuntu is the
only one defaulting
Thank you, Aristarkh Zagorodnikov, for taking the time to file a bug
report.
In addition to 18.04, does this feature similarly misbehave with newer
versions of libvirt/qemu? If it's fixed in a newer version then perhaps
there is a patch that can be backported. If it still isn't working
properly
