I have just tried and I see the same failure. Since I connected the VB guest (via VB HOST network configuration) to the subnet where I have other machines which install successfully, it seems to me like a VB issue - I would assume that it would behave transparently in this network configuration, but it seems that this assumption is not correct. The workaround for this issue is to take advantage of fix for bug 6320 - it will be available in build 110.
