Strange freeze in Linux host

Description
I get a repeatable hang of the VM and the GUI with the following sequence:
1.- get https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.vmdk
2.- Create a new VM, 4G of RAM, the vmdk disk and _2_ vCPUs
3.- Start the VM
At one point in the boot process, the VM will stop producing output and when you try to stop it, the GUI will get blocked.
In parallel, I'm investigating why I can't assign 2 vCPUs to the VM using this image, but I'm worried that I can't just kill the VM and that the GUI gets blocked when I try so.
For the host:
uname -a Linux paag-EliteBook 5.4.0-58-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 9 08:16:25 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Do happen to have a serial port enabled for the VM?
If that is the case can you please try the latest testbuild from here and check whether the issue still occurs? We fixed something which sounds a lot like what you are describing.
Otherwise please attach at least the VBox.log of the affected VM.
