So I got this far...

Is there some way to reproduce which doesn't require adding an lkp user?
Also, I don't have 16G to give to a virtual machine. I tried running the
bzImage with that modules.cgz under qemu with some naive parameters just
to get some output [1], but other than failing because there's no rootfs
to mount (as expected), I only managed to make it fail when providing
too little memory (the .cgz is around 70M, decompressed about 200M -
giving '-m 1G' to qemu works fine). You mention the vmalloc= argument,
but I can't make the decompression fail when passing either vmalloc=128M
or vmalloc=512M or no vmalloc= at all.

As an extra data point, what happens if you add initramfs_async=0 to the
command line?

[1] qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -initrd
../../tmp/header-install/modules.cgz -append "console=ttyAMA0
console=ttyS0 vmalloc=512M" -serial stdio -smp 2 -m 1G
