This seems very problematic to me - it is assumed that libvirt can be
restarted at any time with no ill effects, and restarting libvirt is
often suggested as a solution to clearing up problems (e.g. if some
other program stomps on libvirt's iptables rules).

What can be done to eliminate this problem? Perhaps there needs to be a
"re-associate" message - it could be sent each time libvirt restarts for
each association it's currently tracking.
