They gave you a monitor too.  Try typing 'Ctrl-A c' on stdio, and you'll 
see.  qemu tries to be more clever than you.  Which sucks IMHO.  But 
getting rid of that without adding regressions seems to be really hard ...

Easiest way to workaround this is to simply not specify '-serial stdio'. 
 It is the default anyway for -nographic, so you don't have to.

cheers,
