2a) is an upstream decision to have better disk integrity guarantees.
There is a release notes entry since 17.10 (which is also refrenced from the 18.04 release notes)
=> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/ReleaseNotes#qemu_2.10

2b) is I think an upstream change by the PPC devs actually.
I'll at least put such a case in my own testing to find it earlier next time and be able to work around if needed.

@JFH - if you think 2b is a big issue you might file a bug and abck-sync to IBM PPC Devs for their opinion on it.

I'll stick to the initially reported issue here and try to track it down over the next few days as my ppc64 machine time permits (the bisect is slow anyway).
