Host-only interface for multiple users: VERR_INTNET_INCOMPATIBLE_FLAGS when DHCP server enabled

Description

A problem with host-only (vboxnet) interfaces when being used by multiple users has been already discussed. The solution is to setextradata VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/<iface_index>/LUN#0/Config/RestrictAccess to 0 on all machines using the interface.

But it seems that, when the DHCP server is enabled for a host-only interface, the VBoxNetDHCP does not take those RestrictAccess settings into account. It starts first and creates a restricted interface. When machines later start, they are unable to switch that interface to the public security profile.

The error is:

Failed to construct 'e1000'/2! VERR_INTNET_INCOMPATIBLE_FLAGS (-3604) - The network already exists with a different security profile (restricted / public).

Is there any other workaround apart from disabling DHCP?
