Without !is_daemonized(), if we use -daemon with -D without -d,
qemu_log_close() will eventually set qemu_logfile to NULL. This
will make os_setup_post() redirect stderr to /dev/null, which
is unwanted.

To be honest, I don't understand your suggestion. How would calling
dup2(1, 2) help in our case? Isn't fd 1 the standard output?
