(Get the code!)
The issue turned out to be due to how libvirt uses nc through ssh . hggdh had a line in his .ssh/config entry for the host containing
LocalCommand printf "whatever"
The text being printed out was interpreted by the virsh client as coming from libvirt, so the first set of characters were read as the (far too large) length of the message.
