When the installer pops up, instead of doing an install (which would overwrite your guest), simply use 'virsh destroy' to shut it down immediately. The neccessary guest config file should now have been created so you can re-start with 'virsh start' as usual. I intend to add some form of 'virt-import' tool do make this more simple, so you don't have to do the 'boot the installer & quit' trick.
