This was the result of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1364132

Could you please install this (it's from 4.1.1 RC)
http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1-pre/rpm/el7/noarch/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha-2.1.0.4-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm
to get it fixed.
You need then to run:
systemctl restart ovirt-ha-agent
hosted-engine --vm-shutdown
# wait for it
hosted-engine --vm-start

At this point you have should have the serial console.
