The side effect of this bug is that when you run check-acceptance for
the first time, it won't download this specific image before the test
starts, but during the test execution. After the first run, the asset
is already on cache and will not be downloaded again, working as
expected.

This bug is fixed here
https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/pull/4416 and already
available on release 86.0 of Avocado.

It will reach the QEMU side as soon as we bump the version here.
