Paths also depend on how you pass boot device:

For example with
-drive file=/path/to/cdrom.iso,media=cdrom,index=0,if=ide

I get
ide0                      "/address@hidden/address@hidden/ata-1/cdrom"
cd                        "/address@hidden/address@hidden/ata-1/cdrom"
cdrom                     "/address@hidden/address@hidden/ata-1/cdrom"
ide1                      "/address@hidden/address@hidden/ata-2/cdrom"

(also now that I look at it should this ide1 even be here?)

and with -cdrom /path/to/cdrom.iso

ide0                      "/address@hidden/address@hidden/ata-2/cdrom"
cdrom                     "/address@hidden/address@hidden/ata-2/cdrom"
cd                        "/address@hidden/address@hidden/ata-2/cdrom"
