Yes, I can reproduce this in Linux Mint 19.2 with a Windows 10 Guest VM as well.

The CLI shows the following state for the VM before I open the settings dialog in the GUI:

State:powered off (since 2019-08-17T07:59:33.950000000)

clearly this is a bug. VBoxManage showvminfo <vm> should work in that state.
