I'm afraid virt-manager doesn't support installing VMs connected to VLAN interfaces at this time. I'd like to get support for doing this in the UI but I don't have a network with VLANs so can't test. If anyone wants to contribute patches to make it work I'd welcome them. Its mostly just a problem of figuring out how to enumerate the list of bridges attached to VLAN interfaces. In the meantime the best workaround I can offer is to use virt-install command line for installing the VMs initially. This lets you explicitly enter a bridge name as a command line flag.
