I'm not sure if this is a bug or feature. As you said, two VBoxSVC daemons are running with different privileges. Why do you need to start a VM as administrator at all? We don't recommend that for security reasons. A possible solution would be to use different XML settings by specifying the VBOX_USER_HOME variable before starting a VBox instance, see section 9.1 of the user manual.
