I'd just discourage mixing -virtioconsole and -device virtio-serial-$bus
The whole point of -virtioconsole is backward compatibility for
management apps / start scripts and the like and it should create a
device which can be used by the guest like the qemu 0.11 virtioconsole.
If you are using device virtio-serial-$bus you are obviously not needing
the backward compatibility stuff ;)
cheers,
Gerd
