Found the cause of the problem. It seems virt-manager parses both its own config files and those under /etc/xen. There were still the config files for the old VMs in /etc/xen but after the "virsh edit" libvirt also create new ones for the renamed VMs. This apparently confused virt-manager. After removing the old config files in /etc/xen things look ok now. Looks like the rename-case is not properly handled by libvirt (the old files should be removed after creating the new ones).
