Guest settings: choosing video acceleration disabled or 3d video acceleration does not change behavior. Increasing VRAM from default 16 Mb to 128 Mb (max for my machine) does not help either.
VirtualBox versions tested:

* 5.1.38-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.3 (from multiverse) - crash,
* 5.0.40 (from Oracle) - crash,
* 5.1.38 (from Oracle) - crash,
* 5.2.36 (from Oracle) - crash,
* 6.0.16 (from Oracle) - crash,
* 6.1.2 (from Oracle) - crash.

Removing `ubuntu-mate-welcome` from autostart with `sudo rm /etc/xdg/autostart/ubuntu-mate-welcome-autostart.desktop` fixes the login issue. But direct launch of it with `ubuntu-mate-welcome` ends with another crash.
