Seen the exact same bug twice in a row while installing FC12 with IDE
disk, current qemu-kvm.git. 

qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=/root/images/fc12-ide.img,cache=writeback \
-m 1000  -vnc :1 \
-net nic,model=virtio \
-net tap,script=/root/ifup.sh -serial stdio \
-cdrom /root/iso/linux/Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso -monitor
telnet::4445,server,nowait -usbdevice tablet

Can't reproduce though.
