Immutable images take an extra minute before starting to boot

Description

I have a VirtualBox image that I use for testing things on a new install of a particular OS. I don't want any changes to be saved after the virtual machine is exited because I want it to always return to the state of a new install for future testing, so I made the image immutable.

In VirtualBox 5.1, starting an immutable image immediately went to booting the virtual machine. I just switched from VirtualBox 5.1.30 to VirtualBox 5.2.4, and now starting an immutable image brings up a dialog box that says "Disk Image Reset Operation - Immutable Image", which blocks progress for about a minute before the virtual machine starts to boot.

This extra wait is a worse situation than with VirtualBox 5.1.

This wait has gone away after an upgrade to VirtualBox 5.2.6.
