This indicates a bug in libvirt (in the ESX driver). I can reproduce
it when I add a cluster to the datacenter. It only happens when you
try to connect to an ESX server that is part of a cluster.

As said this is due to a bug in the ESX driver. Here's a patch that
fixes the problem for me:

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-December/msg00796.html

A ClusterComputeResource is the representation of a cluster in the
vSphere API that libvirt uses to talk to an ESX or vCenter server.

Thanks for reporting this problem.
