Could it be -rc4? because rc5 is equivalent with the final release.

And between rc4 and rc5 this was fixed:

commit 91af091f92358c2ff828fa1def1a7bea9b701cdf
Author: Fam Zheng <famz at redhat.com>

     block: Drain BH in bdrv_drained_begin
     
     [...]
     As a side effect this fixes a hang in block_job_detach_aio_context
     during system_reset when a block job is ready.

Could be a candidate which fixed this regression...
