Update -- it seems the problem is limited to CentOS version 5.4. I downloaded the 5.3 netinstall .iso, and that seems to be happily installing in VirtualBox.
And yes, I know the path I listed down below only says "5" for the version (that's what the instructions for doing a net install of 5.4 said to use) -- if you specify 5.4 in the path, you still get the same error. To install 5.3, I specified 5.3 in the path (so can't tell you if "5" will work when installing 5.3 or not).
