Attempting to run virt-manager on a remote machine through an SSH tunnel with X11 forwarding fails.

With --debug output shows:

[Fri, 16 Jan 2015 21:03:02 virt-manager 4327] DEBUG (console:1494) Starting connect process for proto=spice trans=None connh
ost=127.0.0.1 connuser=None connport=None gaddr=127.0.0.1 gport=5900 gtlsport=None gsocket=None

(virt-manager:4327): GSpice-CRITICAL **: spice_session_set_shared_dir: assertion 'dir != NULL' failed
[xcb] Extra reply data still left in queue
[xcb] This is most likely caused by a broken X extension library
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.

I forgot to mention: The error occurs when connecting to a Spice display, not the virt-manager GUI main window.
That is when looking at video on a running virtual machine instance, but only when using Spice.  VNC displays
do not have this problem.
