I don't think that the problem you are seeing is related to this one.
I assume that you have manually applied this patch:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2009-01/msg01304.html

because it has not been committed yet.

I tried to reproduce the issue but so far I didn't get any crash: I am
starting a VM with -vga none and switching from the monitor to the
serial and back.
So far is working correctly for me.
