I can reproduce it also in current 1.25.13 from Git, so it is still valid. OTOH it seems like this is the only occurrence of a literal \n in error messages (at least, I could not find others); so I just fixed it and sent to the mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-December/msg00046.html
Fixed upstream with: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/41729c6556bbab7d5532a9a699848aa254b77d27 in libguestfs >= 1.25.14.
