hang on ... so which qemu-related package was missing? i'm thinking
qemu-user but it would be nice to clarify that.

I don't know. I'd first done yum groupinstall virtualization. As I
remember, that only brought in qemu-img. When that didn't work I
installed qemu*x86. I may have installed qemu-user also. Finally yum
install qemu*. Then it worked.
Any clues on paravirtualization?
