Pausing a machine causes all activity to stop.

I don't really have an opinion. When you pause a guest all activity concerning the guest stops.

I know but it is odd. You can test it yourself.

I think I understand what you are getting at, but the guest is not an app it is a separate running OS and when you pause the guest is stops doing anything.
