The error returned in this case is:

error: internal error unable to execute QEMU command 'human-monitor-command':
The command human-monitor-command has not been found

It's good enough for someone who knows what that means but not very nice for
normal end user. So I made some changes and sent v2 of this series. With that
the error is:

error: unsupported configuration: HMP passthrough is not supported by qemu
process; only QMP commands can be used

Similar thing applies to your comment in patch 2/2.
