As I remember, If virtual product has configurable goods, you must assign same configurable goods to Variants also. Then only they will be displayed on shopping cart otherwise, they won't display in shopping cart. The implementation is like that for configurable Product page.
For ex: virtual Product is :WG-1986, You assign configurables A, B to this product. and variants are WG-1986-BLACK, WG-1986-GREEN, WG-1986-WHITE In product page all variants and configurable goods will be visible because you are opened virtual product page. now, you selected WG-1986-BLACK,config products A and B(remember these 2 products are associated to virtual product WG-1986 *not to WG-1986-BLACK*) and entered into shopping cart. Nos, in shopping cart, the available productId is WG-1986-BLACK. for this product, there is no configurable goods. So, they won't show up. To fix this, you need to associate config goods to each and every variant. I hope you got my point.
