This is because the driver in a virtual environment doesn't get to run instructions *AT ALL* when an interrupt is asserted. The interrupt code runs immediately and this recent bug fix allows an interrupt to be possible when the interrupt handler will reject it (due to the new code), when being called from any path in the driver that holds the E1000_RESETTING flag. the driver should use the __E1000_DOWN flag instead of the __E1000_RESETTING flag to prevent interrupt execution while reconfiguring the hardware.
