If you look here:

https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2015/09/25/virt-v2v-libguestfs-and-qemu-remote-drivers-in-rhel-7/

The things supported by qemu-img and qemu are not necessarily the same.

If you look at the last qemu-kvm.spec file, you can see what is set to
rw and ro:

https://git.centos.org/raw/rpms!qemu-kvm/976a86fff9adb9a2a6968b9f73fe9a615266f59b/SPECS!qemu-kvm.spec

--block-drv-rw-whitelist=qcow2,raw,file,host_device,blkdebug,nbd,iscsi,gluster,rbd


--block-drv-ro-whitelist=vmdk,vhdx,vpc,ssh,https

So, those listed files are the only ones that will work.

You would need to recompile the qemu-kvm RPMs after modifying those
whitelist lines in the spec file if you want to add things to the whitelist.
