I would be impressed if it were possible to generate positrons and the associated electrons from virtual pairs. This would imply that a source of energy has been created as you suggest since the two could get together releasing real energy into the region of space where they exist. I tend to believe in the overall COE and this would violate that belief unless the same amount of energy disappeared at some other location.
Call me old fashioned, but I still do not accept the appearance of energy out of nothing. Locate an atom that looses mass to compensate and you are good. Perhaps I would accept energy coming from a field of some sort, but that field must then be demonstrated to have less net energy than before the conversion to positrons. I have been watching the entanglement of particles with anticipation, but so far there is no clear evidence of energy transfer at a distance in zero time. Information seems to be connected, but I do not see how that could be understood in the form of energy transfer. One day this may become common, but I am not aware of any evidence.
