FWIW, I've taken a look at the VBox.log files posted in this thread (as offered), but I haven't found any indication of a doubled memory usage. Since the VirtualBox developers already started investigating, it shouldn't matter, though.

In case it's relevant, I seem to have the same double memory issue on 6.1.8... I have a VM which should only use 4GB of RAM; however, the VBoxHeadless process uses double that.

Still the same issue (MacOS Catalina 10.15.7, Virtualbox 6.1.24).
