You found the issue! VirtIOSCSI can only do its magic, when it's actually used. And once the boot disks was running using AHCI emulation it's a little hard to make it "re-attach" to SCSI. I am pretty sure it could be done, like you could make Windows disks switch from IDE to SATA/AHCI with a bit of twiddling in the registry using recovery mode. I think I managed to feed the Windows installer a floppy image with the VirtIO drivers at one point, but it took me half a workday I think... That is one of the reasons I like importing my Windows VMs for oVirt from VirtualBox. And it doesn't seem to like the OVAs VMware produces.
