-serial stdio on its own is broken for me (qemu from git).  The error
is a little bit different, so I don't think this is the same bug:

  chardev: opening backend "stdio" failed
  qemu: could not open serial device 'stdio': Invalid argument

The full command line is:

$qemudir/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -L $qemudir/pc-bios \
    -drive file=/tmp/test.img,cache=off,if=ide \
    -m 500 \
    -no-reboot \
    -nographic \
    -serial stdio \
    -no-hpet \
    -net user,vlan=0,net=10.0.2.0/8 \
    -net nic,model=virtio,vlan=0 \
    -kernel /tmp/libguestfsUnRd8H/kernel \
    -initrd /tmp/libguestfsUnRd8H/initrd \
    -append 'panic=1 console=ttyS0 udevtimeout=300 noapic acpi=off 
printk.time=1 cgroup_disable=memory selinux=0 
guestfs_vmchannel=tcp:10.0.2.2:36065 guestfs_verbose=1 '

I'll look into this a bit further now.
