However, the bug lists seem to refer only to issues with VirtualBox. I have experienced the same symptom when installing on a "hardware" system (no hypervisor). The same commands above also provide a workaround here, but thought the flag should be raised for CentOS and RHEL that it doesn't seem to be just VBOX.
As noted in the CentOS bug report you referenced ( https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15570 ), I filed a report upstream ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1658669, marked private). In that RHBZ, they were able to reproduce it without VirtualBox. Therefore they are aware this is not just a VBox problem. The fix has been added to kernel-3.10.0-984.el7, meaning it will be in the EL 7.7 kernel.
Now there is a separate RHBZ for "Z-Stream" for the same issue. This means that the fix will be ported to the current series (EL 7.6). Unfortunately I have no access to this BZ, so cannot tell the progress there. Once it is fixed in RHEL, CentOS will inherit it.

I added the following note to bug 15570:
"The problem is not unique to VirtualBox. It can be reproduced _without_ VBox."
