I'm pretty confident this is unrelated to your scenario but I have fixed a regression bug on this commit which wasn't yet merged ("KVM: nVMX: Fix bug of injecting L2 exception into L1"):
https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg159062.html

But from my understanding it doesn't look like you are running any nested VMs here right?
In that case, ignore my reply.
Just wanted you to notice this in case I misunderstand something in your test setup.
