Not me personally.  But... having the word "xen"
in the name of the lvm volume is kind of worrying.

Xen is an older hypervisor, which KVM is kind of a
replacement for.  So, I'm wondering what else (if
anything) may have gone a bit wonky in the conversion
process.

Do you have the commands you used for converting the
system disk from VirtualBox to QEMU?  If so, can
you cut-n-paste them here?  Thinking there might be
a gotcha or something in that can be pointed out
easily. :)
