Note that the listen attribute of <graphics> won't be filled in if you
request the *inactive* xml, and so there will be no error when it is fed
back to updatedevice. I can't think of any examples right now, but have
a very definite memory that there are several items in the config like
this - if you feed the status xml output back to update/define "you're
gonna have a bad time". That's why virsh edit asks for the INACTIVE xml.

Did you see this when trying to do an update-device manually, or as the
result of some management application that has forgotten to add the
INACTIVE flag to its request for XML?

If the latter, then I guess I can live with ignoring the error in order
to preserve backward compatibility with the broken application.
Reluctant ACK.

You are guaranteed that if found == NULL, then match == false, so the
2nd term is redundant.
(you never get into this code if listenAddr == NULL, so unless found !=
NULL the comparison that results in setting match = true will never be
true).
