If you have some spare time and C programming knowledge you could try
to write a fix for QEMU 1.2.
The problem is that qemu-img convert is writing to the same cluster
twice but streamOptimized is a write-once format. We need to find a
way to handle this case gracefully, either by avoiding the double
write or by relaxing this constraint in block/vmdk.c.
