This does not match James finding of missing the gic version in the generated XML.
Also the error is to not start the guest at all.
Yet still on the changed MSI interrupt behaviour the following change might be related:

    virtio: Fix no interrupt when not creating msi controller

    For ARM virt machine, if we use virt-2.7 which will not create ITS node,
    the virtio-net can not recieve interrupts so it can't get ip address
    through dhcp.
    This fixes commit 83d768b(virtio: set ISR on dataplane notifications).

This commit is contained in 2.9.
James suggested that this might be fixed in 2.9/2.10 therefore I'll update here once I have a 2.10 to test.
If one wants/can test on Artful there is a daily qemu available at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-virt/+archive/ubuntu/virt-daily-upstream (I'd not recommend to also pull the libvirt from there to only change one component).
