You should report that back to the vm2core developers to fix that half-baked ELF header. For example, when the KVM "virsh dump" feature is used by a KVM host to create a dumpfile of a guest VM, they have a mechanism in place that transfers the vmcoreinfo data from the guest back to the host, resulting in a vmcore that is identical to a bare-metal vmcore.
