Yes, I can browse via \\vboxsrv\Downloads.

Okay, I want to correct one part of my initial post. Actually, Windows 7 guest does not suffer from this problem.

Should I file a bug ticket to Oracle?

Did you manually mount the share or are you using auto-mount? Because mine which is auto-mounted is backwards from yours.
