regression: VM crashed when try to change non-existent host network interface at startup

Description
The VM's network adapter is set to bridge mode. If the corresponding network interface of the host is no longer available (removed or disabled), a dialog box will popup when the virtual machine starts saying
"Could not start the machine XYZ because the following physical network interfaces were not found:
abc (adapter N)
You can either change the machine's network settings or stop the machine."
This dialog box provides a "Change Network Settings" button. In version 6.x, click this button and correct the network settings, then the virtual machine continues to boot. But in version 7.0.x, after clicking this button, the virtual machine crashed with the following error:
Nonexistent host networking interface, name 'abc' (VERR_INTERNAL_ERROR).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}
This is definitely the regression comparing to VB 6.x;
The same bug reported more than 1 year ago. https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21337
