I cannot reproduce it on a Skylake (Xeon Gold 5120), with or without 
Isaku's fix, with either ./runtests.sh or your reproducer line.

However I can reproduce it only if eptad=0 and with the following line:

/x86/run x86/vmx.flat -smp 1 -cpu max,host-phys-bits,+vmx -m 2560 \
   -append 'ept_access_test_not_present ept_access_test_read_only'
