I did add setuid bit to qemu-bridge-helper to run qemu as non-root and I did it for the new file location. It does not make any difference with the new version. In my example I used '#' to indicate a root prompt so the setuid bit wouldn't make a difference anyway. By the way, the following command also hangs, but it works correctly with the previous version:
