reboot alone won't work without an init, and by default guests don't have one (see below). reboot -f just calls into the kernel and tells it to reboot. This is caught by the patch and the kernel runs vshelper, which does the rebooting/halting.
Thank you for your explanation.

Only if you're using the plain initstyle, the default (sysv) just runs the initscripts without going through init.
Ok, I have found this page: http://oldwiki.linux-vserver.org/InitStyles. I have
to set /etc/vservers/<id>/apps/init/style to "plain", right? I will test this.
Are there any reasons why using "sysv" instead?
