You need to look further up the call chain.  If the call
to qemuMonitorSetCapabilities() fails, qemuConnectMOnitor()
returns -1. If qemuConnectMonitor() returns -1, then
qemuWaitForMonitor() also returns -1. If qemuWaitForMonitor
returns -1, then qemudStartVMDaemon will call qemudShutdownVMDaemon
which kills the guest and closes the monitor.

So, by having qemuConnectMonitor() close the monitor when
SetCapabilities() fails, AFAICT, we get a double-close.
