How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add the following <sysinfo> section into a guest XML defination

<domain type='kvm' id='55'>
  <name>rhel6.1</name>
  <uuid>1849d614-50cf-b09d-dbf7-e5909a55c561</uuid>
  <memory>1048576</memory>
  <currentMemory>1048576</currentMemory>
  <vcpu>1</vcpu>
  <sysinfo type='smbios'>
    <bios>
      <entry name='vendor'>LENOVO</entry>
      <entry name='version'>6FET82WW (3.12 )</entry>
    </bios>
    <system>
      <entry name='manufacturer'>Fedora</entry>
      <entry name='product'>Virt-Manager</entry>
      <entry name='version'>0.8.2-3.fc14</entry>

  </sysinfo>
  <os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='rhel6.0.0'>hvm</type>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
  </os>
  ...
2.Start the guest, run "dmidecode" command to examine appropriate seabios informatin

3.

You also forgot to add 

  <smbios mode='sysinfo'/>

in the <os> section to pick the sysinfo informations and expose them
though smbios. Behaviour is normal.
