Whether the VM starts or not has no relationship to the kernel bug. libguestfs (including virt-rescue) boots its own appliance using the host kernel, which on Ubuntu suffers from this bug.
I might take it up with LKML then, because as you noted earlier the Debian kernel has the problem also, and Debian tends to be a relatively standard build.
