It detects host as Penryn as well for @tstrike.
Which is fine if it is a chip of around that era.
He reported to have an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz"
And for that chip the detection and chip used might be correct.

So to summarize all repro fails, but on Penryn ERA chips 2/2 cases trigger the bug.

I wonder if one that wants to reproduce needs a system with such a chip as well then to test and trigger this.

There should be plenty of people on CC as this is mirrored to qemu-devel due to the upstream qemu task. Is there an microarchitectural x86 specialist that knows if the chips of that generation have some special issues in regard to VMX that might explain what we see here?

It would be great if everyone could ask around for more systems with chips of that era.
Maybe we can further bisect which work and which will fail.
