Fixed upstream by v1.0.0-rc1-18-g61299a1:

commit 61299a1c983a64c7e0337b94232fdd2d42c1f4f2
Author: Jiri Denemark <jdenemar>

    virsh: Fix POD syntax
    
    The first two hunks fix "Unterminated I<...> sequence" error and the
    last one fixes "’=item’ outside of any ’=over’" error.

Comment 3 Eric Blake 2012-10-26 14:20:21 UTC
I'm tired of this repeatedly happening.  We need to also fix the Makefile to grep for 'POD ERRORS' after creating the man page, and fail the build loudly at that point, rather than letting this sneak through.

Yeah, agreed these kinds of problems should not pop up at all.
