I thought I fixed this. What is your libvirt version? You will need
v5.10.0 at least:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1760885

The problem is that when libvirt chown()-s a file, it also records the
original owner in XATTRs and to detect stale attributes it also records
boot time among with the rest.

As a workaround you might disable this feature by setting
remember_owner=0 in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
