I cannot reproduce this with qemu-system-x86-1.2.2-6.fc18.x86_64.

I used your command-line and the following QMP commands:

$ QMP/qmp-shell localhost:4444
(QEMU) blockdev-snapshot-sync device=ide0-hd0 snapshot-file=test2.qcow2
(QEMU) block-stream ide0-hd0
(QEMU) query-block-jobs
...output shows the job running...
(QEMU) Ctrl+D

The block job completes successfully and I get no crash.

Please try qemu.git/master to see if the bug is still there for you:

$ git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
$ cd qemu
$ ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu
$ make
$ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64-softmmu -enable-kvm ...
