HA! It looks like it is indeed a microsoft bug, and not
a qemu problem. After sneaking up on windows updates
a few at a time starting from a new XP install
(which has other problems these days [1]), I finally
found the ".NET Framework 4 Client Profile" was
the one responsible. If I uninstall it, the network
goes back to starting up as soon as I boot.

Time to tell Windows Update "never install that!" :-).
