I'm trying to track this down, but 1) I can't reproduce it
on my setup and 2) it doesn't make any sense :)

It's almost as if libvirtd.service would be started during
boot, but not every single time. Except you always have it
running after boot, right?

And After=libvirtd.service tells systemd *exactly* to wait
until libvirtd has started before starting libvirt-guests,
so the situation you apparently find yourself in should
never, ever happen, barring a systemd bug.

Since you're running an Arch variant, I'm going to assume
all your software is basically at the latest version all
around, isn't it?

Can you try adding

  [Unit]
  Requires=libvirtd.service

to your libvirt-guests.service via 'systemctl edit' and
see if it helps? I don't think it should be needed for your
use case, but it's probably a good idea to have it there
anyways.
