One thing I didn't try, and that's creating a FreeBSD instance with the
"q35" system version. (That should happen if you do a manual install from
an ISO.)

-- q35 was disabled for FreeBSD due to problems which I think have been fixed
in current/stable (but not made it to "release" yet. So trying a recent "current"
ISO may prove useful.
