Stripping the colon off the name it finds should fix the problem, but the runqemu* scripts should be audited for similar kind of problems with this and other devices. If there isn't a tap device found, the script uses the output of: tap=`sudo $QEMUIFUP $USERID $GROUPID $OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT which doesn't cause a problem, which is why the problem isn't normally seen (i.e. everybody must be using Ubuntu).
