[Users] oVirt 3.3 -- Failed to run VM: internal error unexpected address type for ide disk

[Jason Brooks]

I'm experiencing an issue today on my oVirt 3.3 test setup -- it's an AIO
engine+host setup, with a second node on a separate machine. Both machines
are running F19, both have all current F19 updates and all current ovirt-
beta repo updates.

This is on a GlusterFS domain, hosted from a volume on the AIO machine.

Also, I have the neutron external network provider configured, but these
VMs aren't using one of these networks.

selinux permissive on both machines, firewall down on both as well 
(firewall rules for gluster don't appear to be set by the engine)

1. Create a new VM w/ virtio disk
2. VM runs normally
3. Power down VM
4. VM won't start, w/ error msg: 

internal error unexpected address type for ide disk

5. Changing disk to IDE, removing and re-adding, VM still won't start

6. If created w/ IDE disk from the beginning, VM runs and restarts as
expected.

Is anyone else experiencing something like this?  It appears to render the
Gluster FS domain type totally unusable. I wasn't having this problem last
week...

Here's a chunk from the VDSM log:
