I've been able to bisect this to https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=8bca4613
which is new in qemu 3.1.0
For what it's worth, when you set 'Password%%', you'll be able to
connect with 'Password%' (ie double % becomes single %).
I've sent a patch fixing this to qemu-devel, but it does not appear yet
in its archives.
