My patch has landed:
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/3efffc3292d94271a15b1606b4a56adf6c6f04ed

I think we can resolve this bug as fixed.   Just one note for those how
are trying to use streamOptimized images with VMware: you need to patch
the VMDK version because VMware products accept only version 3 for
streamOptimized:

# Set VMDK version 3 for foo.vmdk
$ printf '\x03' | dd conv=notrunc of=foo.vmdk bs=1 seek=$((0x4))


** Changed in: qemu
