To replicate, 'sudo apt-get install ovmf'. During the VM setup phase you must set 'Customize configuration before install', then change Firmware from BIOS to UEFI.

I can reproduce this bug on my system with 1 GB of RAM and 1 CPU core assigned to it.

This appears to be a known issue with shim. The kernel does boot OK in a Xenial VM with UEFI installed.
