Hi,

 I've pushed two patches (right now just on spice.v17, should be on spice.kvm.v14 too) that change the required flags to spicevmc.

 The new syntax requires you to specify a subtype argument, only value right now is vdagent. So:

 -device spicevmc,subtype=vdagent

instead of just
 -device spicevmc

This will allow using more virtio-serial ports (spicevmc is just a virtio-serial port by another name) later on, without changes to qemu, clipboard is a concrete planned use.
