I looked around for the conclusion of that thread but could not find it.
I was reproducing so often I'm sure this case was fixed. I may have
privately contacted one of the VM maintainers to fix it. However lacking
evidence I think it just stopped happening for me and I never reported
anything useful.

What we really need is a full core dump (minidump) and backtrace. This
will let us inspect the pmap state.
