OK, now it is clear why bypassing libvirt avoids this issue.
So maybe I'm missing some libvirt package required for creating the
bridge?
libvirt is installed by vdsm, which requires:
libvirt-client
libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter
libvirt-daemon-kvm
libvirt-lock-sanlock
libvirt-python
virbr0 is provided by the libvirt default virtual network, which
sets up NAT based forwarding
VDSM doesn't want this network connectivity so it doesn't install
the libvirt default network, hence you don't have any virbr0.
You can get it by installing the libvirt-daemon-config-network RPM
