I still think that someone setting up the wrong language is a case of
admin error, and that failing to start is appropriate.  But this issue
just caused a second bugzilla today:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1026514

so you aren't the only one to have hit the issue.  However, in reading
that bug, Dan Walsh (now cc'd) apparently didn't even find the stderr
message that tried to alert him to why libvirtd was exiting early.
Whether or not we apply your patch, there's the meta-issue that if
libvirtd under systemd outputs an error to its stderr, where does that
message go and how does an admin find out why libvirtd exited early?
