What version of Windows are you running?  Are you specifying any 
particular hardware in qemu?
I did a small test where I installed several different versions of 
Windows (including, IIRC, XP, Win7, w2k3, and w2k8) on qemu-traditional 
and then upgraded to qemu-upstream.  The only issue I had was when I had 
specified a network card available in qemu-traditional but not qemu-xen, 
and so when I switched the network card switched and Windows didn't have 
the right driver installed.  When I just went with the default network 
card everything worked fine.
