I think there have been other bugs of a similar nature in the past with the Cocoa UI. The regression may be because of stricter checks in the new macOS version."""
reproduce = """1. Start qemu (the QEMU_EFI.fd is from Tianocore EDK2).
2. Wait for the NetBSD kernel to set framebuffer resolution and observe the crash.

With `-nographic`, the problem does not occur."""
