Yes, necessarily:

tglase at tglase:~ $ virsh -c qemu:///system dumpxml MirBSD | fgrep emul                    
    <emulator>/usr/local/bin/qemu-in-chroot</emulator>
tglase at tglase:~ $ cat /usr/local/bin/qemu-in-chroot
#!/bin/sh
exec schroot -c sid-amd64 -u root -- qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm "$@"

Otherwise I cannot assign more than 2047 MiB RAM.

*But*:

tglase at tglase:~ $ virsh -c qemu:///system dumpxml SuSE_Linux_1.0 | fgrep emul
    <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
tglase at tglase:~ $ virsh -c qemu:///system start SuSE_Linux_1.0
error: Failed to start domain SuSE_Linux_1.0
error: unsupported configuration: QEMU 2.1.2 is too new for help parsing

So this also happens for VMs created by virt-manager and
then untouched.

No, it shows a bunch of XML things (capabilities/{host,guest}/…).
