I had this problem when a virtual machine (Fedora latest, GUI) was started from a remote machine, so its console opened over X11/ssh to a remote server (10 Mb/s link). The host was FreeBSD 9.2, virtual box 4.3.6. It took extreme patience and several attempts to type in a command in guest's xterm, having to pause after each quick keypress and wait for the echo to show up. Casually typing would result in looong autorepeats of some of the typed characters. When guest's console was open locally on the host (not over x11/ssh from a remote location), everything worked normally. Mark
