Virt-manager ought to really keep the CDROM attached for windows
guests. The user can later explicitly detach it with the recent
created device add/remove UI in virt-manager. There is UI in 
the wizard where the user can select what type of guest is being
installed, so virt-manager could check the 'continue' flag based
on the selected OS to decide whethe rto keep the CDROM attached.
