Is guestfish using "discard=on"? Here is my test:
$ qemu-img create test.img 32M
Formatting 'test.img', fmt=raw size=33554432
$ qemu-img map --output=json test.img
[{ "start": 0, "length": 33554432, "depth": 0, "zero": true, "data":
false, "offset": 0}]
$ qemu-system-x86_64 ~/rhel6.img \
-drive if=none,cache=none,discard=on,file=test.img,id=test \
-device virtio-scsi-pci -device scsi-disk,drive=test \
--enable-kvm -m 512
