We had an report about the vbox package a few days ago. I looked at it and the vbox code is so ugly that it was not fun at all. They play some very strange games in their include hell and that is obviously doomed to do so. You are unfortunately as a user hit by this and the only recommendation I have is to report it back to the vbox people. Fixing vbox may be trivial if you dive into their include hell but I do think you are better off talking to the vbox people here. They may say that "the kernel changed - fix the kernel" but we have the ~1800 modules building in the kernel so they need to fix their end of stuff.
