After getting the bug mail for this bug and reading it with interest, I
happened to run into this issue today myself and did some investigation
at a seabios level.
My original hit of the issue was with RHEL, but I reproduced it with the
same card (Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express
Gigabit Ethernet Controller (PCI ID 10ec:8168)) on Ubuntu saucy.
The logs in QEMU logs list however the follow:

At the same time, dmesg reports:

virsh edit'ing the VM and adding "<rom bar='off'/>" to the <hostdev>
entry to read:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
</source>
<rom bar='off'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05'
function='0x0'/>
</hostdev>
caused the message to go away.
I applied the same element on the RHEL machine, which also seemed to
solve that problem, so it's possible that precise also needs this
option.
I'm suspecting what is happening is that the ROM on the network devices
is confusing seabios/coreboot but need to do some more digging first.
