I tried FTP (to have something completely different) and it fails as well:

I watched vmstat -z, and every time it fails, I have another failure
reported for "NetGraph data items".
Does raising the value of net.graph.maxdata help? Set it in
/boot/loader.conf.
Indees it does. I raised it to 65536 and now I can copy large files
and do not see "NetGraph data items" failures in vmstat -z anymore.
I wonder whether it could be a recommendation of the VirtualBox ports?
I am not the first one to be bitten by it so it would make sense to
send a warning.
E.g. Marlon discarded the whole FreeBSD/VirtualBox setup and went
Citrix instead. It does not have to be like that;-)
In one way it makes sense that the _start_ of the VirtualBox makes the
difference. It is a busy company mailserver with SMTP and HTTP access
and a lot of traffic going through - it all has to go through the
netgraph items.
Of course, I have in my setup another way of working around the
problem: at the moment VirtualBox is using the same interface than the
host. I have a still unused interface I should use instead to separate
the traffic.
