I'm not familiar with virtualbox, but I've seen similar issues occur
with vmware and the solution was to at least temporarily mask whatever
new cpu flags the new hypervisor was passing to the guest.  In vmware,
one could limit the cpu flags to maintain compatibility with various
cpu releases which was especially helpful in clusters.... Yes, your
gentoo vms should have been fine ..but at least until you track down
the issue, see if virtualbox has a similar feature?
