This is not the case on Fedora 16 with netcf-0.1.9-1.fc16.x86_64 and libvirt build from git (post-0.9.10). I did a direct cut/paste of your example. Can you provide a backtrace of the crash? (before triggering the crash, run gdb and attach libvirtd's pid. after the crash is triggered, enter the command "bt"). What OS/version are you running, and what exact build of netcf?
I'm using Ubuntu precise with libnetcf1-dbg: 0.1.9-2ubuntu3, libnl-3-200-dbg: 3.2.3-2ubuntu1, libnl-genl-3-200: 3.2.3-2ubuntu1, libnl-nf-3-200: 3.2.3-2ubuntu1, libnl-route-3-200: 3.2.3-2ubuntu1, libnl1: 1.1-7 To make the backtrace more readable I installed the debug version of libnetcf1 and libnl-3-200. Now libvirtd throws a SIGABORT and libnl writes the follwing error message: APPLICATION BUG: /build/buildd/libnl3-3.2.3/./lib/route/link/vlan.c:382:rtnl_link_vlan_get_id: Link is not a vlan link. set type "vlan" first. libvirtd: /build/buildd/libnl3-3.2.3/./lib/route/link/vlan.c:382: rtnl_link_vlan_get_id: Assertion `0' failed.

I can confirm that under fedora 16 no segfault or abort is thrown. But there seems to be another bug: Bug 804575.
Using the current version of netcf (commit d340f2dfcd6461c9743dccdabe3b610f5fbc8fe8) the bug doesn't occur!
The crash in this bug occurred while running code built from an early version of the netcf port to ubuntu, and according to the reporter the problem no longer occurs, so I'm closing it.
