Comparing the spice debug logs, where I see this with QEMU 4.0.0 without the bug:

Guest is Arch Linux Sept 2019 ISO. linux 5.2.11. Have replicated this both on a system using amdgpu and one using integrated ASPEED graphics. Downgrading from 4.1.0 to 4.0.0 works as usual, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyMdcYwOCvY Going back to 4.1.0 reproduces, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3nGG2Mk6i0 4.1.0 displays fine until KMS kicks in. Using 4.1.0 with virtio-vga doesn't cause this. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1843151/+subscriptions
