Oddly enough, after downgrading seabios to version 1.7.3, I'm able to 
boot FreeBSD on the Ubuntu hosts without issue.  I downgraded like so:

apt-get install seabios=1.7.3-1ubuntu0.1~cloud0

No other packages (namely, libvirt/qemu/etc.) were downgraded as a 
result and I do not see any dependency issues, so it looks like this 
will be the workaround for now.  I suppose I should make my situation 
know in that bug report, eh?

Thanks again Juergen for pointing me in the right direction!
