I'm trying to reproduce this w/o qemu-test as you suggested on irc, but
what I'm getting is:

# ./qemu-qmp -enable-kvm -qmp unix:./qmp-sock,server,nowait -monitor stdio
QEMU 1.4.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) device_add virtio-blk-pci,drive=hd0
Property 'virtio-blk-pci.drive' can't find value 'hd0'
**
ERROR:/home/lcapitulino/work/src/upstream/qmp-unstable/qom/object.c:1003:object_get_canonical_path: assertion failed: (obj->parent != NULL)

Also happens on master, so I'll bisect that one first...
