Actually, here's a libvirt log timestamp:
2015-05-17 02:29:06.931+0000: shutting down
which includes the timezone offset (so while it doesn't state "UTC", it
DOES state an unambiguous timezone, which happens to be UTC).
Compare that to a qemu timestamp:
(qemu) 2015-05-21T02:07:43.695065Z qemu-system-x86_64: test....
which is ALSO unambiguous (the trailing "Z" _is_ the UTC timezone).
