The only thing about the repro is that as I wrote in the bug comments it needs 
a specific artificial delay inside the vm to make it crash. Without it I 
couldn't reproduce it, at least running the test locally. Maybe running it 
several times in mach5 will show some crashes. That's why I also doubt if this 
test will actually be useful. But do you think it's still worth it to add it?
