Regarding problems with recreating interference, which is even further from the title: experimental boundaries for size of electron (maybe let's take it to dedicated:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=361 ), these are only (hydrodynamical) analogues - instead we need to use de Broglie-Bohm: obtained by substituting phi = sqrt(rho) * exp(iS) to Schrodinger equation, and confirmed experimentally e.g. while (weakly) measuring average trajectories of interfering photons:
http://science.sciencemag.org/content/332/6034/1170And instead of interference, we are talking here about intuitions for orbit quantization to prevent synchrotron radiation - orbit quantization was obtained in multiple ways for walking droplets by different groups - providing clear intuition: that to minimize energy of e.g. electron-proton system (they cannot join as neutron is much heavier), the coupled (pilot) wave needs to become a standing wave (described by stationary Schrodinger equation) - otherwise it would have additional energy in form of fluctuations.
Do you disagree with such intuition for nonradiation?
Regarding vacuum self-organizing into particles - localized stable energy configurations (formally called solitons), I generally agree.
The most crucial question there is explaining charge quantization (barely mentioned in the paper you have linked) - having that, e.g. electron is just the simplest (lightest) negative (quantized) charge.
Charge quantization is a restriction for Gauss law: that integrating electric field over a closed surface, the returned charge is not any real number like in standard EM, but an integer multiplicity of e (or e/3).
But there is also quantized version of Gauss law: topological Gauss-Bonnet theorem says that integrating curvature of a vector field over a closed surface, we get topological charge inside - which has to be integer.
Hence interpreting curvature of some deeper field as EM field, we get quantized (by topology) charges governed by electromagnetism (Faber's model of electron):
