Yes, I got the issue while virsh start:

  # virsh start Test
  error: Failed to start domain Test
  error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2020-10-05T17:31:21.078134Z qemu-system-x86_64: '-machine memory-backend' and '-numa memdev' properties are mutually exclusive

Here is the domain XML. I'm using libvirt with the head commit: 7d77fdb90f,
and qemu with the head commit: 36d9c2883e.
