VINF_EM_TRIPLE_FAULT in UEFI firmware

Description
I am playing around with UEFI right now and getting a crash whenever attempting to boot from an unsupported EFI image. I have tested the same scenario with the latest EDK2 firmware in the emulator provided and I'm not getting crashes with it. I suspect it is due to outdated firmware in VBox which doesn't handle unsupported formats correctly.
Attached below is a log, and a screenshot comparing my 2 test versions.
If anyone is interested I can provide the image file as well.
The image in question is a compiled PE32+ image with the header containing
subsystem=EFI_APPLICATION machine=X64
The code contained within is 2 instructions:
xor eax,eax ret

Please try again with a recent VirtualBox release and reopen if still relevant. Also please attach the image you mentioned so we can reproduce it.
