I think maybe the version number in the stack trace is a bit misleading,
this is the full/actual version:
$ kvm --version
QEMU emulator version 2.5.0 (Debian 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.1), Copyright
(c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
I'll still try to get qemu from git and see if it makes a difference.
Thanks,
