Hmm, I think that I've found the reason. I have used one additional
tracing patch (bellow) and we are getting ESRCH because cread and pcred
don't match:

This would answer why we cannot reproduce with a single user.
Btw. I guess that there is a typo in the condition and it should be
like this:
	if (cred->euid != pcred->euid &&
-		    cred->euid != pcred->uid)
+ 		    cred->uid != pcred->uid)
