I've re-run the test with 4.15rc7.r111.g5f615b97cdea and the following
patches from Keith:

[PATCH 1/4] PCI/AER: Return approrpiate value when AER is not supported
[PATCH 2/4] PCI/AER: Provide API for getting AER information
[PATCH 3/4] PCI/DPC: Enable DPC in conjuction with AER
[PATCH 4/4] PCI/DPC: Print AER status in DPC event handling

The issue is still the same. Additionally to the output before I see now:

Jan 11 18:34:45 server.theraso.int kernel: dpc 0000:00:10.0:pcie010: DPC containment event, status:0x1f09 source:0x0000
