You need to place the two nics on separate qemu vlans:
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=disk.qcow2,if=virtio,boot=on -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=50:18:99:55:4E:43.vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0 -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=51:17:99:55:4D:43,vlan=1 -net tap,vlan=1
(a qemu vlan is just a virtual ethernet segment, not 802.3q (or whatever it's called) vlan)).
Ideally it should work without this, but there's a bug in one of the
virtio optimizations that prevents it from working correctly.

Any sufficiently difficult bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
