Looking at this a bit closer, I think this may be a bug in qemu. /dev/fd/7 is supposed to be the file descriptor of the image which we have opened in libguestfs, see this code: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/06df910491c493 60c0292c7153ba5e5cd09a4735/lib/info.c#L174-L191 I wonder if qemu gets confused by this and thinks that the image is open in two places? I can't reproduce this here however. Having a nice short reproducer might help.
