Scratch that--those files were taking up too much space.
Instead, I offer you an invitation to send me an encrypted
email to which I will likewise reply with the details of
how to SFTP the files (522MB, but you should get at least
4 MB/sec bandwidth from this end) for the actual vm
condition you requested (even better--I did an
  aptitude --download-only --dist-upgrade
prior to the save).  Also, I ran it beforehand in the
constrained configuration (1 GB root, no swap) to ensure
this fails identically, and it obliged me.

I hope this works, er, you can get a successful test.
