Use -c during conversion for compressing.

I confirm that using "-c" option the size of the converted image is the same as the 0.10 version. Thanks.
I didn't find a way to verify in advance if an image is compressed or not.. is there?
No. Qcow2 file is not actualy compressed, it includes compressed clusters. This can be detected by looking at qcow2 metadata, but it is not exposed by qemu-img.

Yes, this is engine bug so upgrading engine is enough.
But you should update the hosts to get other fixes and improvements like
