I just ran it again, manually.  Here is the bottom of the window:

               | e: Utility menu                               |
               |>x: Exit Install System                        |
               +-----------------------------------------------+

# halt
halt
halted by root


Cursor just sits under the 'h' in 'halted' and waits for qemu's expect 
to timeout.


This was invoked with

anita --workdir ./work/ --qemu-args "-m 128" --disk-size 1024M test 
/build/netbsd-local/release/amd64/


So, it doesn't seem to be able to create the "freshly started qemu VM"
