I won't pretend I really understand what's going on here,
but I have posted this workaround:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2011-August/msg00148.html

BTW the error messages look scary but are completely
benign -- just some unwanted output to stderr.  It doesn't
crash the Ruby interpreter or libguestfs.
