I retried with ubuntu 16.04, qemu-img version 2.5.0 (Debian 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.4).

While the original file (freetz vmdk) is not available (they use .ova now), I got another .vmdk file from
http://www.osboxes.org/debian/#debian-8-5-vmware

qemu-img convert Debian\ 8.5\ \(64bit\).vmdk -O raw test.raw
qemu-img convert Debian\ 8.5\ \(64bit\).vmdk -O qcow2 test.qcow2

Both worked, and I could boot the system I converted from .vmdk using qemu-kvm.

Looks as if this issue got fixed, finally.
