No, QEMU is clearly sending some kind of control codes to the terminal which are resetting my Xterm to crazy defaults. This happens immediately on poweron, before the guest OS has even loaded. Same thing for a telnet connection; control codes are transmitted first thing which screws up Xterm. If I suspend telnet to the background, issue a terminal reset, then resume, the output is fixed.
