El Capitan guest, Sierra host, VB 5.2.2 r119230 -> "invalid opcode" error when trying to boot

Got Install OS X El Capitan.app at 9th December 2017 (yesterday at the time of writing) from mac app store. Installer has version 1.7.50.
Made the .iso file from it by using the script from this repository. Resulting file size = 8015142912 bytes and its sha256 sum is 4c8f512b963a29f48b34552cca75c789a8fc14d1413dd0a4549e5817a6465355.
Created VirtualBox VM as described in README (incl. the cpuid step), then tried to boot it, and it only reaches a panic state with an "invalid opcode" error. (full screenshot below)
What could go wrong?
Changed OS in VM preferences from El Capitan to "just" OS X 64-bit, and it seems to solve it.
