To Stefan: yes, I can reproduce this on qemu.git/master.
Actually, I've found the cause of this bug and sent a patch to qemu-devel mailing list a few days ago: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-05/msg05777.html It's very kind of you helping review the patch and give some comments. Thanks.
