Hi Nicolas.
I had the same problem with most of my VMs after the upgrade from 4.1 to 
4.2.
See bugzilla here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1528868
(which admittedly was a mesh of a bunch of different issues that occurred)
Red Hat was never really able to figure out why, and I think they pretty 
much just dropped the issue because it seemed like it only happened for 
me.  In order to resolve it, I had to delete the VMs (not the disk of 
course), and recreate them, and then I got the console option back.
It's "good" to see that it's not just me that had this problem. There's 
a bug to be found there somewhere!!
