OK, I have answered my question to my satisfaction and it appears to work the 
way I want it to work -- host still has protection from iptables but guest 
does not.

My test:

On host with br0 interface:  fire up httpd ... using system-config-firewall, 
enable www port ... from another system, access the httpd server on "host" 
(accessed) ... using s-c-f, disable www port ... from another system, access 
the httpd server on "host" (fails)

On guest running under qemu-kvm and using the br0 interface for its NIC: stop 
iptables on guest ... start httpd on guest ... from another system, access 
httpd server running on "guest" (works)

So: host is protected by iptables running on the host but guest running under 
that same host is not.
