Thank you for testing! This is consistent with what Aaron and I
experienced. So there is an issue with basing the CPU off Nehalem (in
combination with the kvm_pv_unhalt flag), but basing off kvm64 seems to
work just fine :)

If you'd like to further test, please use

qm set <ID> -args '-cpu
qemu64,+aes,enforce,+kvm_pv_eoi,+kvm_pv_unhalt,+pni,+popcnt,+sse4.1,+sse4.2,+ssse3'

as that's the default proposed in the latest version.

Best Regards,
Fiona
