Chances are pretty good it does.  I've seen qemu-dm crash too, although
it isn't 100% clear from the description it is actually the same bug.

With my fb backend code in place I can boot the domain, connect with a
vnc client, see the pvgrub boot menu (framebuffer mode), interactively
select a kernel, then watch the guest os come up in framebuffer mode.
This all with correct screen display and without qemu-dm crashing along
the way.

cheers,
  Gerd
