I had a mail from Cole explaining what happened. It's a combination of
user error and a UI bug in virt-manager. I had wanted to specify the
virtio drivers for Windows, but gave the directory instead of the ISO
file. However the error message from virt-manager said the problem was
with the Windows ISO and didn't mention the virtio problem.

IOW it's a case of "wrong error".

I corrected my mistake and it now appears to work as before.

IMHO it would make sense for virt-manager to detect the problem as soon
as the user specifies the wrong thing. Instead, you get no feedback
until you try the installation, at which point it complains and your
only option is to start again from the beginning (none of your config
choices are remembered).
