I can confirm this. Booting with this works fine:
LC_ALL=C PATH=/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin /usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 128 -usb -drive file=/tmp/qatest.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1

Booting with this does not:
LC_ALL=C PATH=/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin /usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 -no-kvm -m 128 -usb -drive file=/tmp/qatest.img,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1

FWIW, if I go into the grub menu and remove 'quiet splash' I see it stops at:
ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs

Adding '-no-acpi' allows it to boot.
