[CentOS] Trouble with CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-9-20211208.0.x86_64.qcow2

I'm trying to test out the CentOS Stream 9 GenericCloud images.  I'm 
installing with:

VM_NAME="centos-stream9"
USER_DATA="user-data"
DISK="CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-9.x86_64.qcow2"


virt-install \
--name "${VM_NAME}" \
--memory 2048 \
--vcpus 2 \
--import \
--cloud-init user-data="${USER_DATA}" \
--os-variant centos-stream9 \
--disk "${DISK}" \
--network network=default,model=virtio \
--graphics none \
--virt-type kvm

But I'm ending up with a corrupted disk image, e.g.:

# ls -l /var/lib
ls: cannot access '/var/lib/unbound': Permission denied
ls: cannot access '/var/lib/systemd': Permission denied
ls: cannot access '/var/lib/logrotate': Permission denied

Is anyone else seeing this?  Anything I'm doing wrong?

I'm not seeing any error in the boot messages.
