Reverting it fixes the problem. Key seems to be the amount of memory configured in qemu; the problem is not seen if there is 1G or more of memory, but it is seen with all test boots with 512M or 256M of memory. It is also seen with almost all 32-bit efi boots. The problem is not seen when booting without efi.
