I am pretty sure it is unique to VirtualBox because of their sucky EFI
implementation.  The report was made bacuse of the automated reporting
following a crash.

At the moment whe workaround is to not use EFI.  GPT label disk works
fine, but not with Oracles bad EFI on VirtualBox 4.3.6.

Probably should just close the bug as "not enough information"
