Bionic seems indeed broken in this use case
root@b:~# virsh domrename h-test h-test-newname
Domain successfully renamed
root@b:~# ll /etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart/
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3 Mar 26 08:56 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 5 Mar 26 09:13 ../
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Mar 26 08:56 h-test.xml ->
/etc/libvirt/qemu/h-test.xml
You already mentioned that you issue "virsh autostart" again after the rename,
which in newer releases isn't needed anymore.
Indeed this will now fail to create the matching link
root@b:~# virsh autostart h-test-newname
Domain h-test-newname marked as autostarted
root@b:~# ll /etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart/
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3 Mar 26 08:56 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 5 Mar 26 09:13 ../
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Mar 26 08:56 h-test.xml ->
/etc/libvirt/qemu/h-test.xml
Until I've found the fix (if it is backportable at all) this will be an easy
workaround:
root@b:~# ln -s /etc/libvirt/qemu/h-test-newname.xml
/etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart/
root@b:~# ll /etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart/
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3 Mar 26 09:15 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 5 Mar 26 09:13 ../
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Mar 26 09:15 h-test-newname.xml ->
/etc/libvirt/qemu/h-test-newname.xml
