take a look here: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3319

"Had to shut down all virtual machines and wait for VBoxSVC to shutdown. Once machine was started then everything started working. Looks like the COM server got all screwy "

I'd say that it's similar, or the same, as my own bug report here: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3202
