Answering the question for posterity.
We found a temporary solution to the described problem.
We had a development cluster with a working SPICE console. By comparing
packages we have established the differences between working and not
working SPICE setup. We have isolated the spice-server package.
The installed version was spice-server-0.14.0-2.el7_5.3.x86_64
We downgraded the package to spice-server-0.12.8-2.el7.1.x86_64 and
rebooted the nodes in sequence.
Now the SPICE console works again.
Kind regards,
Mitja

Greg, thank you for the referral. I will post my question there.
Since oVirt uses spice it seemed like a good shot to ask fellow admins
here in the hope somebody has come across something alike.
Kind regards,
Mitja
