Then please rewrite the #MC entry code to deal with nested exceptions
unmasking the MCE, very similr to NMI.

The moment you allow tracing, jump_labels or anything else you can
expect #PF, #BP and probably #DB while inside #MC, those will then IRET
and re-enable the #MC.

The current situation is completely and utterly buggered.
