qemu vcpu hot-plugging has been a sore spot for some time now.  My
understanding is that an early implementation used to be upstream, but
it was buggy, so current upstream does not support it.  RHEL has taken
some efforts to provide vcpu hot-plugging beyond what upstream supports,
but it is still a work in progress, and I haven't personally tested RHEL
6.0 to see how well it does (most of my vcpu hot-plug testing was done
for RHEL 5.x with xen).

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=533138 appears to be
relevant to your situation, and mentions that the issue has been
deferred to at least RHEL 6.1.
