Ubuntu 18.04 apparently has QEMU 2.11.0: https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/bionic/qemu The commit you mention above is from the 2.12.0 release, so that can't be the cause. Ubuntu 16.04 was on QEMU 2.5.0, so that's a huge range of possible changes. My suggestion would be to try with the very latest QEMU 3.0.0 to see if that fixes the problem first.
