Yes - the test is recording the kernel up until the point it gives up.

I suspect this is a race between QEMU shutting down because the guest
shut it down and the acceptance test trying to shut things down via QMP.
I think the proper fix is either to:

  - s/panic=-1/panic=0/ in the command line (and probably drop --no-reboot)

which would let the acceptance test cleanly shutdown via QMP. Or:

  - modify the test to declare that qemu will shutdown itself and
    therefor no "quit" needs to be sent

WDYT?
