Hu ho, I think I hit this bug :

http://thr3ads.net/libguestfs/2011/11/1623975-Virtio-win-RPM
and
http://thr3ads.net/libguestfs/2011/11/1624040-Windows-P2V-migration-temporary-recipe

I have a RHN account, so I was able to download the missing virtio-win 
rpm and install it on F17 (seemless).
Import is now working for windows guest, though some more errors are to 
be treated manually (eth virtio errors), but harmless.
