Just saw this one again with the same iotest 130 on the same
s390 box; only difference is that the log this time around
has the first part where qemu-img fails, but not the second part
where qemu-io fails:

 === Marking image dirty (lazy refcounts) ===

On the host machine there don't seem to be any stray
processes which might have held the file open, and
indeed the file doesn't exist at all, so it got removed
by some cleanup or other.
