I can also confirm this on intrepid, with VirtualBox_OSE 2.04.

There's a good workaround here: 
http://www.tr-studios.com/2008/05/gnome-compiz-virtualbox-seamless-window.html
Basically it's a "small .NET application that will force an open window into 
the upper left hand corner of the screen, with 1x1 pixel visible on the 
desktop, which seems to satisfy the seamless desktop functionality and allows 
things to function normally.  The window does not provide any kind of 
functionality, and is not available through the taskbar, in order to kill it 
off you must kill the process through task manager."

Just put it in your startup folder and you're good to go.

It'd still be nice to get a proper fix though :-)
