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,
