Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Since I don't think this is a regression and not commonly used functionality, moving to 6.2
Fixed in python-virtinst-0.600.0-1.el6
