The hosted-engine VM currently misses the console device and the engine
refuses to add it.
We have an open bug tracking that:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1561964

In the mean time you can still use hosted-engine --add-console-password to
temporary set a vnc password and open a VNC console to the engine VM
(hosted-engine
--add-console-password will also print out the requested parameters).
