I tried to puzzle together the timeline on this.
Thanks rbasask for discussing with me to refocus on this issue.

Timeline:
#1 libvirt passed script to qemu, qemu executed
   1.3.1 as in Xenial or UCA-Mitaka still do that
   But Openstack passed script='' and qemu silently ignored it

#2 libvirt changed, now libvirt executes
   http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=9c17d665fdc5f
   That is in Yakkety and later.
   This had an unintentional API change, that empty scripts behave differently.

#3 Openstack adapted to that API change
   https://review.openstack.org/#/c/425637/
   Not sure - is that in Ocata only - commit in 2017?
   Now new Openstack (#3) + New Libvirt (#2) work
   But if you happen to have an old libvirt like in #1 you now have different 
behavior.

#4 Upstream libvirt realizes the API break and fixes it
   
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=1d9ab0f04af310e52f80b4281751655bb3bb7601
   But backporting that would not help, this is meant for libvirt later or 
equal to #2

#5 IMHO openstack should either
   - detect libvirt version and do differently depending on that (keep 
script='' for old ones)
   - or instead of not passing script at all pass /bin/true which will work on 
libvirt as old as #1

I expect you have an openstack of #4 and a libvirt of #1 which due to that 
cause this.
I still don't see the apparmor issue on my end, but that might be an additional 
issue.
Even in the /bin/true case we might hit an apparmor on /bin/true.


Please everybody still try to hep sorting out questions in comment #16.
