You still using cached appliance. Remove cached appliance and try again:

rm -r /var/tmp/.guestfs-0

You might want to remove cached appliance for other users:

rm -r /var/tmp/.guestfs-N # where N is UID

The other problem is it's using the system-supplied supermin.

It's better to patch the Ubuntu supermin package and rebuild it.
Terrible documentation here:
http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/patches-to-packages.html

I really need to get around to this ...
