Just to report an update...
After confirming that the same behavior can be reproduced under old
versions of qemu too, there are now patches committed (commit a06818d
and some prior ones, since 6.03-pre3) to the Syslinux 'master' branch
(at least in the git.zytor repo).
Some tests were already performed, suggesting that the problem should
be solved.
It might be relevant (for Syslinux testers) to mention that Syslinux
6.03-pre4 will fail (under any conditions). The next 6.03-prerelease
should include the patches.
To The Syslinux Team, my gratitude.
Regards,
Ady.
