I did.

There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

apparently I was wrong about it remembering the size it was dragged to. I just manually sized a guest by dragging to 1920x1080, shut it down, and restarted. It opened at 1440x1050. It seems the VirtualBox driver only has multiples of VGA screen sizes. At least that's all the sizes that show up in the guests.
