It's status was the somewhat cryptic... >>> Postponed: VM Hypervisor failed to enter an online state in a timely fashion. ... which upon investigation I found was also being seen at RNA and Constellation. Suggested fixes like waiting 24 hours or stopping and restarting BOINC acheived nothing. It was updating VirtualBox to 5.1.28 that fixed it.
