I've set sasl-auth for my servers to make use of sso. As found there are incompatible changes to the sasl-part as found in libvirt and qemu, making it impossible for virt-viewer to connect to vnc-sessions build up by libvirtd. Same applies for virt-manager.
Since it works with libvirtd, kvm-qemu on debian, I suppose it's a bug within libvirtd, kvm-qemu as used with Ubuntu precise. Switching off sasl auth for vnc is a crude workaround.
