Sorry, that was my bad.

I tested the proposed fix as well and it works. I would suggest to
add some sort of comments since the whole do_qemu_set_log() is hard
to parse in one pass. For example:

diff --git a/util/log.c b/util/log.c

     if (qemu_logfile &&
         (is_daemonized() ? logfilename == NULL : !qemu_loglevel)) {
         qemu_log_close();


Thanks for this quick fix and sorry again for any trouble caused in the first
place.
