Thanks!
Unfortunately I had to fix it with a dirty, dirty hack, and I will have to
write a substantial patch to libguestfs to fix it upstream, but at least it
works.
Check out my horrid hack:

While this works, I am open to suggestions :) I also think that this script
probably explains my conundrum better.
