These error messages are not directly related to this bug. However, they
may be a result of hitting this bug. I've opened bug 911507 to track
the fix for this issue. It is the result of a long-standing design
decision that clearly needs to go away now that so many people are
having trouble with this part of the code. It is high on my priority
list.

Paolo Bonzini did point out a still-lingering issue with the fix for
this bug in comment 154. This bug report has become very long and I'd
like to track the fix for the lingering issue in bug 842647. It has
clear instructions on how to reproduce the lingering issue and I'm
almost done with the path for it.
