Somewhere, the discard requests are disappearing in the stack (or more
likely, being delayed).  blktrace/trace-cmd somehow forces them out.
But fsync/sync/umount/sleep does not.  They might be stuck in qemu too ...

No, this I can be quite sure about.  QEMU sends them as soon as they are 
received in the SCSI layer.  If they were ill-formed, QEMU would fail 
them.  If they got stuck, sooner or later you'd not be able to do I/O 
anymore (there is a queue depth limit) and the guest would start getting 
timeouts.

Also, certainly blktrace would have no effect on QEMU.
