I need to finish reading all responses to this thread, but through the automatic update checking the VB does, I notice there is another snapshot of 2.12 out. Dunno if it will fix the issue, but if I get time I'll try to build it with the AUR scripts and report back.

I can confirm that rebuilding the VirtualBox modules works. This problem 
is interestingly similar to the aufs2 package which also started acting 
weirdly with 2.6.32.3 and works fine after a rebuild.
