I've reproduced this with the latest qemu and v6.0 kernel using ubuntu 15.04 user-space.

The reproducer is just to log in once its booted. The vm has swap, and I've turned the
memory down low enough to force it to swap. The round trip time is about 15 minutes.

I've not managed to reproduce it without swap, or with more memory. (but it may be a
timing thing)


Below is one example of tag corruption that affected page-cache memory that wouldn't be
swapped:
