I'm confused- this is marked as affecting qemu-kvm in precise, but the preceding patch (c6ac36e) which introduced the bug is not there either. So I'm going to mark this as not affecting precise unless someone speaks up to say that we in fact need the whole dependent series.

Others subformats work but the StreamOptimized is by far the most important one. The only workaround I found is to migrate to raw and then to use VBoxManage (VirtualBox).
