After removing the device "Channel qemu-ga" I got the install working. While new virt-manager takes advantage of libvirt not requiring source path attribute for char devices, libvirt in RHEL is older and still requires the source path to be used. It was made optional upstream by commit v1.0.5-3-g297c99a, that is, it is present since libvirt-1.0.6. As a workaround, create a VM without qemu-ga channel and add it manually including the source path using virsh edit. That said, it's a client's fault to provide an XML configuration that is not supported by older libvirt. Unfortunately, this is not something that virt-manager can easily probe for. A possible solution for virt-manager is to always provide source path for qemu-ga channels even though newer libvirt does not need it or declare qemu-ga channel to be supported only with libvirt-1.0.6 and newer. Fixed upstream by:

support: Use libvirt daemon version correctly
It should be the reference version for all libvirt checks if it exists.
Fixes AUTOSOCKET check for a remote RHEL6 hypervisor for example.
