Libvirt REALLY wants to use transaction bitmap management (and require 
qemu 4.2) for its incremental backup patches that Peter is almost ready 
to merge in.  I'm trying to ascertain:

When exactly can this bug hit?  Can you give a sequence of QMP commands 
that will trigger it for easy reproduction?  Are there workarounds (such 
as checking that a bitmap exists prior to attempting to remove it)?  If 
it does NOT get fixed in rc5, how will libvirt be able to probe whether 
the fix is in place?
