Yep.  It's because we don't have access to the chardev.
Fixing that (non-hackish) needs some infrastructure work:

  * Make chardevs objects, link them in the qom tree.
  * Make chardev label a object property.
  * Add a chardev link to QemuConsoles (simliar to the device
    link we have today for gfx consoles).

Then we can figure a better name in the ui.

Hmm.  No idea.  But its pretty much a blocker given that this stuff will
be active on windows by default.  Tried real windows too?  Any chance to
get a stacktrace for the place where it blocks?  Maybe that gives a
clue ...
