Description
Executing a guestcontrol operation from a CentOS 6.4 or Mac OS X 10.8 host, using incorrect credentials, causes the VM to crash and enter the Aborted state. (On a Windows host, it works fine.)
% vboxmanage guestcontrol "Linux Mint 15 64-bit" stat / --username myUser --password BADpass --verbose Opening guest session as user 'myUser' ... Waiting for guest session to start ... VBoxManage: error: Invalid user/password credentials VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005), component GuestSession, interface IGuestSession, callee nsISupports VBoxManage: error: Context: "WaitForArray(ComSafeArrayAsInParam(aSessionWaitFlags), 30 * 1000, &sessionWaitResult)" at line 940 of file VBoxManageGuestCtrl.cpp Closing guest session ...
The attached VBox log is from a CentOS 6.4 64-bit host with a Linux Mint 15 64-bit guest, using VirtualBox 4.3.2 (and 4.3.2 guest additions). A Windows 7 32-bit guest also crashes with bad credentials.

Interestingly, you can also make this happen with proper credentials by just adding bad arguments. For instance
% vboxmanage guestcontrol "Linux Mint 15 64-bit" stat / --username myUser --password correctPass --verbose --foo
(note "--foo") causes the VM to crash as well.
