Comment 1 for bug 1859418

Initially I suspected that https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-01/msg03048.html may have addressed this issue, but I think because you're not using backup it might not.

...Oh, qemu 2.12 is *quite old* and not supported upstream anymore. Do you have the ability to test on a more modern QEMU version?

If not, I might need to redirect you back to the RH Bugzilla for issues with the stable version they ship for RH/CentOS. I don't want to play bug tracker pingpong with you, so I'll leave this issue open (but marked "incomplete") and wait for a reply.
