Bisecting shows commit 56b0217c626349748c5cc6f2fbccfa6a905f75a4 to be the point at which virt-viewer stops connecting to my VM. After looking at that commit, I was able to get virt-viewer to connect by adding listen='localhost' to my VM's graphics element. I'm afraid I haven't had time today to dig into exactly what the effect of that patch is so I can't propose an alternative.
