At cold boot, BIOS is shadowed to RAM, and then hot-patched, so a warm boot won't do the same thing.
At BIOS exit, BIOS jumps to the new warm boot path.
This warm path doesn't work and crashes QEMU with "qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x000a1249" ; I've no idea why exactly.
Resetting PAM registers prevents the shadowed copy to be visible, and BIOS does again a cold boot, which works.
