Good question.  They should not do that in the first place unless they
have a ABI change (i.e. gtk2 -> gtk3 switch was a good reason).  The
point release doesn't look like that though ...

I'd suggest to try sort that with vte upstream before trying to hack
around this in qemu (and if we have to we'll need to check for both 2.90
and 2.91 because you don't know what version the user has installed).
