Bug Description
Ubuntu 13.04 Raring amd64
$ apt-cache policy virt-manager
virt-manager:
Installed: 0.9.4-2ubuntu3
Candidate: 0.9.4-2ubuntu3
Version table:

Working with the local system QEMU/KVM hypervisor, when cloning a domain and editing the Networking hardware MAC address ("Details..." button leading to "Change MAC Address" dialog) the "New MAC" setting is ignored and the resulting clone gets issued with a random MAC address.
This is not helpful when working with short-lived clones that are used in iterative guest testing scenarios.
The solution is to manually fix-up the MAC using:
$ virsh edit <cloned-domain>
