One strange thing - I only see it when guest is in graphical mode.
If guest is in text mode it works ok.
Command line:

./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1000 -cpu host -smp 2
/home/mst/images/f20-x64.qcow2 -netdev user,id=foo -redir tcp:8022::22
-device virtio-net,netdev=foo -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-${release} -initrd
/boot/initramfs-${release}.img -append 'root=/dev/sda3 ro
vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16  rhgb noquiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8
console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8,9600n8' -sdl

so nothing special.
