This bug doesn't seem to have gotten much attention since July last year but I can report that the issue still exists on Karmic using libvirt-bin 0.7.0-1ubuntu13.1:

$ virsh reboot foo1
Connecting to uri: qemu:///system
error: Failed to reboot domain foo1
error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virDomainReboot

The stack trace printed by virt-manager says the same:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 523, in reboot_domain
    vm.reboot()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 554, in reboot
    self.vm.reboot(0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 398, in reboot
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainReboot() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virDomainReboot

Anything we users can or should do here?
