Yes, I either have a different bug, or this isn't the real fix. I've tried every combo in the thread above, and on a new install of 12.04, no go - I did get as far as getting an error free install of VB, but then every windows virtual machine crashes - and crashes linux itself - halfway through a boot - right at that "booting windows" screen, before the login.

It is totally broken. The patch proposed backports only the relevant parts from upstream to fix the bug. The patch is from: https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/41660/vbox [Test Case] Upgrade to 3.5 kernel on 12.04 and install virtualbox. [Development Fix] Fixed during Quantal cycle. [Stable Fix] Is being fixed in 4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.3 upload to precise-proposed. [Regression Potential] It is best to use the latest upstream version. But since that will cause major disruption, we have to track this package and corresponding bugs for regressions. jamespage: Please also check backwards compatibility with the 3.2 kernel; the patch should support this but best to make sure (not all 12.04 installs with have 3.5).
