A quick search took me to this page here: http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2005/10/24/484461.aspx which explains the issue in more detail. I first tried disabling the intelppm driver and rebooting, but that didn't make a difference; however disabling the Processor driver worked and my guest VM booted in Normal Mode :)
I've just re-created the KVM image fresh from the VDI image once again and can confirm that disabling just the Processor driver is enough to allow the guest WinXP VM to function in qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2. Perhaps the default for "-cpu host" should not be changed in a micro release as there is a risk of breaking existing VMs?
