Thanks for your report! This is similar to bug #1841079 which was fixed by dropping 0020 -support-login.defs.patch. That patch should probably be dropped in bionic too.

This user has config in /etc/passwd like follows: libvirt-qemu:x:64055:125:Libvirt Qemu,,,:/var/lib/libvirt:/usr/sbin/nologin The "nologin" should be pretty clear signal that this account is not usable for logging in. Despite this, this account is offered in visual login (e.g. lightdm). The computation for possible user accounts is handled by package accountsservice. A workaround is to manually list this user as system user: echo -e "[User]\nSystemAccount=true" > /var/lib/AccountsService/users/libvirt-qemu However, as this user cannot be logged in (/etc/shadow contains "!" as the password hash, too) it never makes any sense to show this in login screen even without the above manual configuration.
