I have this working through an SSH tunnel, although it adds some extra steps.

1. Figure out which port your VM console is bound to (5900 + offset).
2. SSH to the hypervisor tunneling a local port to that remote console port.
3. Click on the console link in the Engine and locally save the vv file.
4. Edit the vv file; change host to localhost and port to whichever
port you configured for the local side of the tunnel.
5. Save and run the vv file with your SPICE client.

You have two minutes to connect from downloading the vv file before
the password expires.
