I think it would be worthwhile to investigate the origin or the problem and report it to Intel to fix it in the BIOS - in case they have broken something. It looks like an endless loop to me. Since the problem appears both to happen inside the emulator and vm86 mode it points to the BIOS however we cannot say for sure. One may want to try to set up registers and execute this command from 'debug' inside DOS to see if this ends up in an endless loop also.
