Looks like 012b170173bc "system/qdev-monitor: move drain_call_rcu call 
under if (!dev) in qmp_device_add()" is what makes the test to stop failing.

I need to understand whether lack of failures is a side effect of timing 
changes that simply make hotplug fail less likely or if this is an 
actual (but seemingly unintentional) fix.
