The sequence of events that creates this state:
1. An old collection is trying to finish marking by flushing SATB buffers with a Handshake
2. The regulator thread cancels old marking to start a young collection
3. A mutator thread shortly follows and attempts to cancel the nascent young collection
4. Step `3` fails (because of this bug) and cancellation reason does _not_ become `allocation failure`
5. The mutator thread enters a tight loop in which it retries allocations without `waiting`
6. The mutator thread remains in the `thread_in_vm` state and prevents the VM thread from completing step `1`.
