Thanks, Dave, I should have expounded on removing the OSS version and driver first. I rmmod'd the driver, then rpm -e'd the virtualbox OSS rpm before I installed the 1.5.4 version. Thanks for reminding me. Now that I have it working, I will try your method, and see if "hot-plug" will work. It should, unless they have a bug in VB. I do think it is a bug for VB to not allow the serial access to ttyUSB0, but that is a subject for their forum, I guess.
