are you using .vhd images very often? The latest trunk sources (as well as VBox OSE 3.0.10) contain a fix which enforces writing the .vhd footer every time a new block is allocated. In previous versions, this footer was only written when the VM was successfully shut down, so this fix might be related to your problem. Again, this applies only to .vhd images.
