virsh migrate fails with syntax error: (domain_definition):1: Start tag expected, '<' not found

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

When trying to migrate a domain, the following error occurs:

[host01] # virsh migrate --live guest01 qemu+tls://host02/system
error: (domain_definition):1: Start tag expected, '<' not found
guest01:migrate
^

The domain definition seems from "virsh dumpxml guest01" seems to be valid.
