A workaround is possible : enable 3D support in settings/display/enable
3D acceleration (VirtualBox interface)

In this case, the vboxvideo_dri.so driver is used instead of the
vboxvideo_drv.so driver (which is missing).

For me, it works on all my VMs

Compare file list for packages (vboxvideo_drv.so missing in xenial-updates):
 https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/virtualbox-guest-x11/filelist
 https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/amd64/virtualbox-guest-x11/filelist


In the update, vboxvideo_drv.so is missing. Why ???

In debian/rules for update, there is a comment :
#           debian/$(uxname)/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so

Why this change has been introduced?

** Summary changed:

- Xorg doesn't start after update on VMs
+ Xorg doesn't start after update on VMs - vboxvideo_drv.so missing
