During migration libvirt asks qemu for the migration progress (although
this has been reworked a bit just recently). The way this was
implemented is by asking qemu repeatedly on the monitor. Qemu should
reply with some migration info, e.g. how much guest RAM has been
transferred to the other side. The error you are seeing means that Qemu
did not supply that information on the monitor. Therefore I suspect this
is a Qemu bug.
What may help you out here is to try to migrate with the latest git HEAD
and see if it works.
