To put Michael's second suggestion into patch form, the following fixes
the problem for me:

+            ioctl(s->fd_in, TIOCMGET, &targ);
here, one more operation is necessary:
               targ &= ~(TIOCM_DTR|TIOCM_RTS);
Interesting. that change was not needed to fix my problem.

It just means you (or, rather, your guests) never really needed to
DROP those signal lines, only to raise them.

             if (sarg | CHR_TIOCM_DTR)
                 targ |= TIOCM_DTR;
             if (sarg | CHR_TIOCM_RTS)
                 targ |= TIOCM_RTS;
Is this code really correct. If it is is there a comment somewhere describing why it's correct? I would have expected the lines above to be:

              if (sarg & CHR_TIOCM_DTR)
                  targ |= TIOCM_DTR;
              if (sarg & CHR_TIOCM_RTS)
                  targ |= TIOCM_RTS;

(Just an observation as this went past).

Without that line above, the code never drops the two bits, once
set they can't be "removed" anymore.

By the way, this is upstream qemu issue, not kvm one, and has to be
pushed as such.  Good you CC'd qemu list.
