Is this really an appropriate invocation though?

-nographic != mon:stdio so the semantics of how this is supposed to 
behave is at best ill-defined.

Original -nographic implied mon:stdio unless you specified your own
-serial. If this was reasonable or not, changing behavior now breaks
tons of scripts.

Actually, there is more legacy breakage in the new default handling. The
missing translation of "-serial stdio -monitor stdio" => "-serial
mon:stdio" can already be harmful to some setups, though I guess they
are less common.

However, this patch addresses something that is a bug outside the scope
of -nographic's semantic.
