Ok, then I suppose the display should be marked as non-ready, and the
client should reflect that (blank display or "not ready" message)

I can't really make sense of a call to spice_qxl_gl_draw_async() if
there is no scanout backing. So I can imagine the fix is on qemu side.

Do you have an up to date branch for testing?
