I used it with KVM, but it doesn't look KVM specific. I'll see if it 
happens with "pure" Qemu.

To reproduce:

- start a guest; connect to VNC
- type on the keyboard (just tap as much keys as you can) as you see 
BIOS, bootloader, Linux booting
- if it didn't work on the first time, reboot the guest, type on the 
keyboard, change windows with your mouse etc. (make the VNC window 
"always on top" usually helps to have focus)

I can reproduce it almost always.
