we spoke very shortly about it on debconf; it's an issue in qemu, aurelien was going to look at syslinux if the solution is obvious (don't heard back from him, so I assume it is not), iirc his last-resort solution would be to revert the change in qemu which broke it (he already identified the offending line at that time). also, i should inform hpa about it, eventually he has a solution for syslinux itself. > 2.
