Thanks, this is useful feedback. There are various workarounds in the app to prevent such things, but the purpose of the beta program is to ensure that we catch all the weird permutations that happen when using hardware virt (e.g. the Android emulator).
If anyone sees any host panics ever, we'd like to know about it (beta-feedback@docker.com) and fix it in Docker for Mac and Windows. Fixes range from hypervisor patches to simply doing launch-time detection of CPU state and refusing to run if a dangerous system condition exists.
