"Ghost" keystrokes with libvirt/KVM, SPICE and Windows guests

After offline resizing the image and file system of a Windows guest VM running on KVM, like this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=wxp.img bs=1M seek=10240 count=0
fdisk -c=dos wxp.img # resize partition, activate(!)
losetup -Pf wxp.img
ntfsresize /dev/loop0p1
losetup -d /dev/loop0

Windows (as expected) wanted to run a file system check on next boot. And on the following boot. And... every time.

I investigated and found out, that the CHKDSK prompted for "skip this check with any key press" and apparently a key was pressed at every boot, even though I did not touch anything.

Long story short: apparently the SPICE drivers, which this VM is using, are creating "ghost" devices and events during boot, which are interpreted as key presses by Windows. The solution was pretty simple: shut down the VM, switch the configuration from "SPICE server" to "VNC server", boot, wait for the CHKDSK to finish, shut down, switch back to "SPICE server".
