I can confirm that. At least VirtualBox 7.0.4 is dice rolling CHS values for my virtual disks. Reboot, and you get a different CHS geometry :-/ That said, BIOS INT 13h emulation of DosBox is also not complete. For example, INT13h, function 44h verify sectors, is not implemented. But all in all seems to be less buggy than VirtualBox. As a side note: I use DosBox hosted under Mac for hacking on Ranish (testing with different virtual disks, compiling with Watcom C) and so far it is working great. Then I copy program versions running stable on DosBox onto my physical machine running FreeDOS for further testing.
