I've managed to reproduce it and figured out what's wrong. libvirt was
trying to match against the device name 'virtio-disk1' rather than against
the drive name 'drive-virtio-disk1' and so not finding the stats.

The reason its matching 'virtio-disk1' rather than 'vda' is that that is
the globally unique name libvirt gave to the 'vda' device. You can see
this now in the XML format <alias> element. In the future we will allow
you to actually pass the alias in directly, as an alternative to the
'vda' style name
