It now seems to be something else, I have gotten access to a system and installed Fusion this afternoon, I hope to repro and fix this tomorrow. It would be of help to me if someone with Virtual Box could try the tip and see if they see any problems. Note that from the testing I have done there does not seem to be a problem on real hardware, its something that is only effecting virtualized.
