This is because of the more complex test, where one device is attached
to the domain "base-ccw-live-with-ccw-virtio" and then compared to
"base-ccw-live-with-2-ccw-virtio" so that the first device can be
detached.

The device XMLs go through the hotplug code which adds the
<backingStore> element, but the domain XMLs are not initialized via our
qemuProcessPrepare.... code, thus the terminator was not added in that
code path.

Well you may perceive it as 'grey' since there aren't any rules
regarding this. This is upstream. Bugs exist even if they are not
tracked by a bugzilla.

In this case these patches spawned from a conversation on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1509110

I'll add it to the commit message
