There's nothing there about the issue at hand, but the full QEMU command
is there.  So I tried executing it (with "fd=41," removed from the
"-net tap,…" option):

    # /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.12 -enable-kvm \

    char device redirected to /dev/pts/5
    # echo ${?}
    134

So it looks live I've reproduced the issue outside of libvirtd.  But I
don't know what an exit status of 134 from QEMU means.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
