I agree.

I don't know, but...

... I agree about this.

What QEMU currently does, is that value zero actually resets the device,
including _all the queues_ and setting the status to 0.  Is your bug
reporter using another virtio implementation?

I'm not sure this is the right thing to do, but the device reset should
definitely include a full vq reset, which in turn includes zeroing QueuePFN.
