I've heard rumours that it might be related to the fact that oVirt
starts VMs with ACPI enabled by default (there's a way in Engine to turn
this off).

If this is not the case, please do a more extensive bisection of the
qemu command line. You have one "bad" cmdline; start trimming it until
it becomes "good".
