What error?  Can you add an extra disk and try

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdc bs=1M count=32
sg_unmap -l0 -n64 /dev/sdc

from within the guest?

This is expected.  It won't change between discard=unmap and
discard=ignore, too.  (Tip: Use "grep . /sys/block/sdb/queue/discard*"
so that it shows the filename).

It should be.  It may be a Linux bug, too.
