[Openstack-operators] [nova][glance] nova-compute choosing incorrect qemu binary when scheduling 'alternate' (ppc64, armv7l) architectures?

All,

Trying to enable some alternate (non-x86) architectures on xenial + 
queens.  I can load up images and set the property correctly according 
to the supported values 
(https://docs.openstack.org/nova/queens/configuration/config.html) in 
image_properties_default_architecture.  From what I can tell, the 
scheduler works correctly and instances are only scheduled on nodes that 
have the correct qemu binary installed.  However, when the instance 
request lands on this node, it always starts it with qemu-system-x86_64 
rather than qemu-system-arm, qemu-system-ppc, etc.  If I manually set 
the correct binary, everything works as expected.

Am I missing something here, or is this a bug in nova-compute?

Thanks in advance,
