can Fedora's QEMU run ppc guest in F12 x86_64 host?

I've tried to create a F12 ppc guest in a F12 x86_64 host, using F12's
Virtual Machine Manager and with qemu-system-ppc installed.  It's
reading a verified copy of Fedora-12-ppc-DVD.iso from the HDD.  It fails
with

CDROM boot failure code : 0004
Boot failed: could not read the boot disk

FATAL: No bootable device.

(Screenshot attached.)  At least this is an improvement over F11 which
would generate a kernel failure instead.  Is this supposed to work?  The
page

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_and_QEMU_merge

claims that it is.
