Comment (by F30):

 I can confirm this (tested on two Apple Silicon MacBook Airs, one with M1
 and one with M2).

 Podman installed using the
 [https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/download/v4.6.0/podman-
 installer-macos-arm64.pkg upstream installer] works fine. That installer
 bundles its own QEMU 8.0.0.

 I also tried different versions of the Fedora CoreOS QCOW image and
 running Podman's QEMU call manually like this:

 {{{
 /opt/local/bin/qemu-system-aarch64 -m 2048 -smp 1
   -fw_cfg
 name=opt/com.coreos/config,file=/Users/felix/.config/containers/podman/machine/qemu
 /podman-machine-default.ign
   -device virtio-serial -accel hvf -accel tcg -cpu host -M virt,highmem=on
   -drive
 file=/opt/local/share/qemu/edk2-aarch64-code.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,readonly=on
   -drive file=/Users/felix/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu
 /podman-machine-default_ovmf_vars.fd,if=pflash,format=raw
   -drive
 if=virtio,file=/Users/felix/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/qemu
 /podman-machine-default_fedora-coreos-38.20230722.2.1-qemu.aarch64.qcow2
 }}}

 However, there is little helpful output, as the Fedora CoreOS image does
 not log to a serial console and no output is seen even when attaching a
 VGA device.
