Yep, doesn't work until pending qapi patches land.

Yep. Artificial restriction; we hope to lift it soon, but don't have
enough qapi patches in place for that one yet (I have not posted my work
in progress to get us that far).
Possible workaround in the meantime - instead of trying to go with a
nice flat union (where all QMP keys are in the same {} level), we can
use nesting (structs that add another {} to include the unions).
