Well, it seems there is a way to do this using the existing methods. It 
just requires some knowledge of the datastream format:

     http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/datastreamformat.html

Fortunately it is quite simple, so a QVector<QPoint> can be read like this:

     points = []
     length = stream.readUInt32()
     for index in range(length):
         point = QPoint()
         stream >> point
         points.append(point)
