No, this definitely looks like a bug. I tend to suspect qemu-img rather
than qcow2, though. After all, your qcow2 image works when a VM reads it
and from a qcow2 perspective there should be no difference from reading
in qemu-img.
I'll have a look at it.

No, same format isn't enough. Assuming they are both raw images (as in
your case), I would agree, though.
