So I just managed to replicate and root-cause this a bit.   Good news:
found this in qemu's bugzilla.  Bad news: it's been open since 2013.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1245703

The startup code iterates all files in the "sysroot" and cyclic symlinks
cause it to iterate forever.  So for now the official advice is "don't have
cyclic symlinks in your rootfs, or qemu breaks".
