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:
version = 6

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)
