Bug description:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=797281

  Description of problem:

  libvirt deleted the XML configuration file for a VM after an edit.

  Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  ii  libvirt-bin                     0.9.2-4ubuntu15                           
  ii  libvirt0                        0.9.2-4ubuntu15                            

  How reproducible: 100%

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Create and define a VM, but do not start it.
  2. virsh edit the VM.
  3. Change the UUID
  4. Save and exit the editor.
  5. Error message appears:
  error: operation failed: domain 'orchestra' already exists with uuid
  4dd4e4bc-ec46-d7b8-5935-cbd727dd89c0
  6. Observe XML file in /etc/libvirt/qemu now gone, and never called me mother.

  Actual results:
  XML file vanished, and VM config lost to posterity.

  Expected results:
  VM config should still exist, with an updated UUID.
  libvirt should honour the updated UUID.
