Steps to Reproduce:
1.use virt-install install a guest
# virt-install -n demo -r 1024 -l http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL5.7-Server-20110430.2/tree-x86_64 -x ks=http://home.englab.nay.redhat.com/~nzhang/kickstart/http/ks-rhel5u7-x86_64.cfg --accelerate -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/demo.img -s 5

2.after guest install, shutdown the guest,and run virt-clone command
# virt-clone -o demo -n demo-clone -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/demo-clone.img --debug
3.#virsh dumpxml demo-clone
  
Actual results:
