This used to work with the existing code, by exposing an intermediate
"no medium" state for exactly one request. Do you know since when this
is broken? Is it a qemu regression, or does it happen only with newer
Windows and Linux versions?

If possible at all, I'd prefer not to use a timer here.

Also I'm relatively sure that your code will break when migrating during
the 2s of "no medium".
