Hi Skyler,
mips emulation is rather rare - so there is always a chance that something 
broke without being recognized at first. For a start let me ask a few questions 
to corner the issue:

1. did that work before and is a regression in the qemu 4.2 of Ubuntu?
2. check other versions - could you try the same with qemu 3.1 (Bionic) and 5.0 
(groovy) of Ubuntu if it is the same?
3. after we know of the above if new/old versions were ok it could be worth 
checking pristine upstream qemu builds to see if any delta in Ubuntu has to be 
fixed. Depending on your time and ability to do so would you be able to build 
from tags of https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git?
(TL;DR; add deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list, apt build-dep qemu; 

In general maybe attach the kernel/initrd of your test so others can try the 
same.
I assume you used something like 
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-mips/current/images/malta/netboot/
 ?

Once that is sorted we know better if we look at a "how to use question"
or an actual bug - and for the latter if it is a regression of some sort
(which would make us hunt for the offending change).
