There are multiple graphics cards to choose from. When using -vga std or -device vga, then -global vga.foo=bar gets used; if -vga cirrus or -device cirrus-vga then it needs to be -global cirrus-vga.foo=bar and any -global vga.foo=bar gets ignored - unless you manage to add it as secondary (PCI) graphics card.
