New dict key here...

...but not supported by any of the block drivers until 10/10 adds it for
qcow2.  I guess what happens is that...

> +            blk = blk_new_open(id, filename, NULL, options, flags, NULL);

...the second blk_new_open() fails if the option is unrecognized, but we
ignore the second failure; and therefore the option makes a difference
only if the block driver understands the option.
