Bloody hell. I ran up vinagre again, this time in gdb, and saw it crashing in the getinetaddr() functions. Wha? Speculating that itmight have something to do with the libvirt created network or other artifacts arising from the fact that we also heavily use VPNs here, I set about looking at my routing table, etc. Then, I just happened to look in my /etc/hosts file and saw this:

I mean, can you believe that? I cleaned up the mess and now virt-manager's VNC console works. So not a virt-manager, or even VNC bug, but whatever allowed that crud do be written to my hosts file is certainly in serious need of therapy.
