ReactRootViews in Android Viewpager crash

[Frank1234]

• I have reviewed the documentation
• I have searched existing issues
• I am using the latest React Native version

When I add ReactRootViews to a ViewPager in Android, the app crashes if I switch pages quickly for a while. Example app: https://github.com/Frank1234/RNViewPager

Environment

OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3
Node: 9.4.0
Yarn: 1.3.2
npm: 5.6.0
Watchman: Not Found
Xcode: Xcode 9.3 Build version 9E145
Android Studio: 3.1 AI-173.4720617

Packages: (wanted => installed)
react: 16.3.1 => 16.3.1
react-native: 0.55.4 => 0.55.4

Steps to Reproduce

Run my sample app, press the floating action button. https://github.com/Frank1234/RNViewPager

Expected Behavior

App should quickly switch pages for a while.

Actual Behavior

On clean install this sometimes goes well, if so: close the app (hard close), open it again and try once more. Now it will definately crash. App crashes with one of these stack traces:
