I guess you forgot to quote the "--command-line" parameters.

Just try it with
kexec --initrd=/boot/initrd --reuse-cmdline -l /boot/vmlinux
kexec -e

I use this all the time in production systems to save the few minutes the
BIOS needs to initialize everything and it works well (on SLES11SP1
though).
It did not work for me in KVM, but I *guess* that KVM just crashed on the
kexec operation, similar as it does when trying to suspend to disk.
