That's indeed the case. On Debian/Ubuntu system, the
script is installed as

  /usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests.sh

and you can definitely try debugging it if you're
familiar with shell scripting.

I installed both libvirt-bin and qemu-kvm in an Ubuntu
16.04 guest in an attempt to reproduce the issue you're
having but I was unsuccessful, so I'm afraid I can't
really help you much further.

It would probably be a good idea to open a downstream
bug report with your vendor, as they might have an
easier time reproducing the issue.

It's worth noting that the libvirt version included in
Ubuntu 16.04 is a bit old (it was released a year and
a half ago), however the libvirt-guests script hasn't
changed very much in the meantime.

Thank you, Andrea.
After following your instructions I re-enabled it back to check to see if
it will log any messages from shutdown but no. I've noticed however that
the computer no longer freezes at shutdown. I am not sure why but it looks
like the problem is gone now. I will try to debugg it deeper and if I have
any issues I will get back to you.

Andrea,

I have libvirt version 1.3.1. I am looking at libvirt.org/sources and see
more recent versions. Do I have the most up-to-date version? Do I need to
upgrade?

$libvirtd -V
libvirtd (libvirt) 1.3.1
