However it seems that virt-manager has some issue quoting. To check it, use a "problematic" HTML/XML characters (like any in "<>&'""), set a password with one or more of these and check the xml file. Strings are double quoted for instance setting "xxx&" you get "xxx∓amp;" instead of just "xxx&". As these "experiments" do not require Qemu/SPICE I expect to be a bug in virt-manager or libvirt.
