It looks like this is related to the discussion of vhost_net, packet
checksumming and DHCP @ http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg37660.html
and recent changes to libvirt that enable 'vhost=on' by default for KVM
processes (vhost=on does not get set by default on precise)

Using iptables on the host with 'vhost=on' to workaround fixes the
issue:

iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport 68 -j CHECKSUM
--checksum-fill

Also, disabled vhost explicitly in instance's libvirt.xml does as well,
by setting

<driver name='qemu'/> in the <interface> section of the domain's
configuration.
