Upgrading to a new version of pxelinux fixes this. We had been running
these:

# lenny
PXELINUX 3.71 Debian-2008-09-06  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin
# Ubuntu lucid
PXELINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 

3.86, from Debian squeeze/sid seems to have fixed this.

PXELINUX 3.86 debian-20100418  Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et
al

I looked over the syslinux Debian and upstream changelogs, but nothing
jumps out at me.

Our other hosts run KVM 85 or qemu-kvm 0.11.1+dfsg-1. They had been fine
with pxelinux 3.63 or 3.71 (we PXE boot nearly all our new VMs for OS
installation). FWIW, they also seem to be fine with 3.86.
