Well,

The problem I managed to fix had the same symptoms but probably was not
what you see, as you are using libvirt 5.0.0 and I broke the permissions
code in libvirt 5.4.0.

Unfortunately I can't tell what's wrong from the debug logs you've
provided. Is there a possibility to collect anything from apparmor? In
selinux world we do collect denials of the security model in a log file
which might indicate what's happening.

Also I've pushed a patch which adds more logging to the
permission-changing code executed while doing blockjobs:

commit e6635c626a252669c79a84fe0a2af11a361aa341 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Wed Jun 12 13:49:57 2019 +0200

    qemu: domain: Log some useful data in qemuDomainStorageSourceAccessModify
    
    Log the flags passed to the function in a exploded state so that it's
    easily visible what's happening to the image.

Unfortunately that commit can't be applied to libvirt 5.0 because it
depends on a refactor which I pushed in 5.4 (which also caused the
problem I was fixing recently). If you could test the upstream version
it would be great.

Thanks for reporting the problem and I'd be grateful if you could
collect logs from the apparmor security thing.
