We're seeing the same on qemu-kvm.git. I tracked it down to following
commits:
commit c16b5a2ca0b186de618654a576bdad9cdd2d1ab2

fully split aio_pool from BlockDriver
commit ad53089b0d0b4bc0731d978e5713365e1a91ba74

qcow: add qcow_aio_setup helper
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install some Linux distro with EXT3 file system in a qcow image.
Everything up to kvm-86-178-g54c5a33 should be working if qemu-kvm.git
is used for it.
2. Start a VM with the image on kvm-86-235-g0936eb0 (merge containing
the two commits above) or newer.
3. Run CTCS [1] or some other file system stress test on it. Usually,
after 5-10 minutes the file system on the image is dead.

Quick howto for CTCS:
$ tar xzf ctcs-1.3.1-pre1.tgz
$ cd ctcs-1.3.1pre1
$ make install
$ ./newburn 10m
