Just wanted to update that the bug was in the para-virtualized disk driver for
Windows as I suspected above and has been found and fixed by Redhat in their
distribution. It turns out that Avast anti-virus is the one that triggers the
bug. It explains why I saw it in alternate reboots. Avast does more extensive
checks at startup based on when it last did the checks so the second reboot
will skip those checks and avoid the bug.

Can anyone confirm whether this fix (and future versions of para-virtualization
drivers for Windows guests) will be available for OpenSuse?
This is important since without support for these drivers, support for Window
guests with para-virtualization is pretty much dead and so OpenSuse can no
longer be considered a candidate as an open source linux host for KVM based
virtualization.
Would appreciate if someone with information or ability to find out can respond
as to where OpenSuse stands regarding these drivers.
Thanks
