I expect I'm doing something wrong, but seeing as this ticket is already open, I may as well post my results here:
Windows failed to start. ...
File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000035a
Info: Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not
compatible with 64-bit mode.
