This bug seems to be triggered by the fact that /usr/bin/kvm is a symbolic link that points to qemu-system-x86_64. The shell (i.e. libvirt) that is invoking the virtual machine should add a "-cpu qemu32" to the command line if the guest OS is 32-bit. This seems to be a change between the Lucid and Maverick qemu-kvm packages, however I am no longer sure this is really a bug with qemu-kvm.
