Some more findings: Aside from only happening on reboot, but not
shutdown, it also seems to only happen with i6300esb. Switching the qemu
config to use ib700 instead of i6300esb, I am not able to trigger the
problem. This confirm's Peter's findings who was not able to reproduce
it on real hardware.

I wonder, if this is a qemu issue, after all?

CCing our Debian qemu maintainer. Maybe he has some insight on this
matter (the complete bug log is at [1]).
