libvirt users - Jun 2013 - error : Failed to find user record for uid '32722'

I'm trying to use the libvirt Python API to manage VirtualBox VMs on Mac 
OS X 10.8.3.  I'm running libvirt 1.0.6 via Homebrew.  However, the 
following trivial Python script:

     import libvirt
     conn = libvirt.open('vbox:///session')

gives me the following error:

libvirt:  error : Failed to find user record for uid '32722': Success
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "ch3vm.py", line 3, in <module>
     conn = libvirt.open('vbox:///session')
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 236,
in open
     if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: Failed to find user record for uid '32722':
Success

I have no idea where that uid 32722 is coming from -- it's not the uid 
of my user account, any of my VirtualBox files, or anything else that 
I'm aware of.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

You'll get the same error with all drivers connecting to 'session'
on Mac
OS X for some reason. I haven't had a chance to track it down. You'll
see
the uid change between reboots or over some X amount of time as well.
