At last, the cause is found. /lib/udev/rules.d/70-udev-acl.rules adds an acl to /dev/kvm denying group write perms. (qemu-kvm installs its own /lib/udev/rules.d/40-qemu-kvm.rules when qemu-kvm is installed) The qemu-kvm.postinst does chgrp and chmod /dev/kvm, but "chmod g+rw" does not remove the group-rw acl. qemu-kvm.postinst needs to manually remove that acl.
