Huh, that is weird. Both images seem to be qcow2v3 so it's weird that the code reaches the assertion. I think at this point you should report an issue with qemu: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues or report it on the qemu-block@xxxxxxxxxx mailing list You'll be asked for what operations lead to the failure so please make sure to collect the libvirt debug log as I've requested. I can help the qemu team to analyze it so make sure to mention me (or my gitlab handle 'pipo.sk') on the issue.
