>From what I have observed, binding vbox NICs to physical interfaces 
(eth0, wlan0 etc.) works when the phy. NIC is actually connected to a 
network.  For example if eth0 does not have a cable connected then the 
bridging does not work.  This is my experience for my laptop (HOST 
openSUSE 11.1 and 2 guest VBOX VMs).  I guess a tap interface would be 
needed to have network connectivity between the 2 VMs when the laptop 
itself does not have any network connectivity (eth0 or wlan0).

I would call it deprecated for certain scenarios like above :)
