#### Overview of the Issue

Packer crash while building vagrant image.

Running packer inside a VMware virtual machine (Debian 11), bare-metal host is Windows 11. Nested virtualization is enabled. Using a slightly modified version of https://github.com/rgl/windows-vagrant to install win11-uefi, with virtualbox as the vagrant virtualization provider.

#### Reproduction Steps

Have only seen the issue once, but...the crash log states "This is always indicative of a bug within Packer" so....

### Packer version

Packer v1.8.7

### Simplified Packer Template

git clone https://github.com/rgl/windows-vagrant
cd windows-vagrant
make build-windows-11-22h2-uefi-virtualbox

I've modified the windows-11-22h2-uefi/autounattend.xml file from rgl's upstream version, but the crash appears to during some built-in packer steps (e.g. after my target vm has already been exported to ovf and the vm deleted from virtualbox), so I'm don't think that matters.

### Operating system and Environment details

* Bare metal host: Windows 11
* Running packer inside VMware virtual machine, Debian 11
** nested virtualization enabled, running virtualbox "inside" the debian VM works as expected
* Vagrant 2.3.4
* VirtualBox 7.0.8r156879
