32-bit guests crash inside VMware VM (regression in 4.2.8)

Description
I am unable to install 32-bit Linux guests in VirtualBox running on OS X 10.8.3 in a VMware Fusion 5.0.3 VM with VT-x passthrough. VMware Fusion is running on OS X 10.8.3 on a Core i7 MacBook Pro.
- The Debian Wheezy netinst CD crashes after an install method (graphical, expert etc.) has been selected (at Decompressing Linux...).
- My VirtualBox VM is running with default settings.
- Disabling VT-x acceleration in VirtualBox makes the error go away.
- 64-bit guests run with VT-x acceleration without issues.
- This used to work in 4.2.6, but is failing from 4.2.8 onwards.
I have attached logs from 4.2.6 (functioning) and 4.2.12 (failing). Please let me know if there's anything else you want me to test. Thanks for your time!

This configuration is not supported by VirtualBox and it is not proven that this is a VirtualBox bug. However, the next VirtualBox major release contains a major rewrite of the VT-x code so there is a chance that this one does not conflict with VMware. Feel free to test a recent test build (bleeding edge build)!

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
