Old bug...

would it be possible to get the .vmx file of the guest?

Sorry for late reply.

Reproduce the bug with latest versions:
libvirt-4.5.0-6.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-9.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1.Prepare a guest on ESXi5.5 which has physical PCI device,pls refer to screenshot "guest-esxi5.5-pci"

2.Use virsh to dump guest's xml, there is no info about physical PCI device
# virsh -c vpx://root.75.182/data/10.73.3.19/?no_verify=1
Enter root's password for 10.73.75.182: 
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

Type:  'help' for help with commands
       'quit' to quit

virsh # dumpxml esx5.5-rhel7.4-x86_64-passthru
