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 ...
thanks,
