Hi there! I'm seeing the same, but at the end the machine end crashing.

Seems that a complete power-off/on of the hardware clears it, until it 
random happen again when loading vmm and doing passthru.

With 13.1p7 it was solid.

I'm adding  Micheal as he probably know who is the right person to look 
into it.
