I had the problem described in this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=157102
I tried the suggested solution, but when starting a VM i get the message 'virDomainCreate() failed'. This remains to happen today, after the upgrade to 1.0.2-1. Same happens when I try to create a new image.
user/group are still set to root/root in qemu.conf
The VM images are there in /var/lib/libvirt/images
The network description is in /var/lib/libvirt/network/default.xml
I searched for any domain xml files, but cannot find them. The directory /var/lib/libvirt/qemu does not list them. Where are they supposed to be located? Is this related to my error?
I did remove ~/.libvirt after upgrading, as was suggested by the install message. Can this be the reason?
Help appriciated, thanks in advance

Found the xml files concerning my images, they are there
Commented the user/group in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf again and did a rollback to a previous version
# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libvirt-1.0.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Now it is working again, so the removal of the .libvirt directory does not matter either.
Bug?

I'm also experiencing the problem.
When launching from virsh, it gives a clue:
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.
Type: 'help' for help with commands
'quit' to quit
virsh # connect qemu:///system
virsh # start Arch-KVM
error: Failed to start domain Arch-KVM
error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: chardev: opening backend "pty" failed
virsh # I've done some reading, and in the past this message has been generated when permissions on /dev/pts are wrong (or libvirt's access to it is wrong). I'm not sure if the issue came from the 3.7.5 initramfs or from the libvirt upgrade.

Update, fixed by updating to libvirt 1.0.2-2 and adjusting /etc/qemu/qemu.conf to run as my own username.

Works like a charm again, thanks for your quick action.
