Then I am presuming the questions were asked by console-cyrillic.

Hmm, now I noticed that console-cyrillic also asks the layout question with 'high' priority (not 'critical'). Which means I don't know why console-setup didn't ask you. If I do 'dpkg --purge console-setup && apt-get install console-setup' everything is asked the way it should.
The priority of the question asked by console-setup depends on the following:
- By default 'critical' for all locales
- If debian-installer/keymap is set, then console-setup tries to find proper defaults and asks with 'high' priority for Bulgarian and 'medium' priority for other languages.
- If console-setup/layoutcode is set, then 'medium' priority. This is for preseeding in the udeb but since I want the udeb to be identical with the non-udeb, the non-udeb reads this too.
- If /etc/default/console-setup exists, then 'medium' priority.

Have you tried "modprobe kqemu"?
Maybe another option is VirtualBox. This is a proprietary emulator, but it has a limited version released under GPL and I suppose this limited version has enough features for most d-i related tests and is faster than QEMU. It is not included in Debian but on their side there is a Debian package. I haven't tried it.
