The timer code has been known to crash Emacs.  There were lots of
complaints about that right after I started using it in VM.

I don't have a fix.

If you have a machine with a reasonably fast CPU and enough
memory you can set vm-flush-interval to t and forget about the
timer.  Otherwise you might want to set vm-flush-interval to some
higher value say 300 (= 5 minutes) so your Emacs will last
longer.  Or you can set it to nil and resign yourself to the fact
the autosaves of VM buffers aren't really buying you anything.
