as far as I can see there is no such command in virsh at all :(

Do you propose to kludge libvirt and send 'continue' unconditionally
before a 'reset'? We can but there is not much sense not to implement
this is QEMU.

Sending command in 'crashed' state only is a bit racy. The event
moving domain into 'crashed' state could be not processed at
the moment.
