Your problem seems to require OOM; I don't have any memory pressure at all:
running a single 2GB guest while there's nothing big on the host (bloatfox,
xfce, xorg, terminals + some minor junk); 8GB + (untouched) swap.  There's
no memory pressure inside the guest either -- none was Linux (I wanted to
test something on hurd, kfreebsd) and I doubt they even got to use all of
their frames.

Also, it doesn't reproduce for me on 4.12.
