Confirmed that booting with ipv6.disable=1 results in a successful boot.
With this new information, while trawling I found this message on the lkml

Larry Finger :
The only relevance to nmi_watchdog is that vboxdrv turns off that watchdog when loading a VM. Perhaps a real machine and other kinds of VM work around a race condition through the use of the watchdog, but VB has this disabled. I'm grasping at straws here.
The first reference you quote above talks about a race between ipv6.ko loading/initializing and the starting of sshd. Does the kernel on the NET install iso actually start sshd? If so, perhaps a sleep 10 at the start of the sshd script would avoid the problem.
I checked the log while booting with 700 MB VM. In that case, the system does not try to load ipv6. There must be some kind of free RAM test that skips the load. Without IPV6, the load succeeds.
