Vboxmanage bandwidthctl disk does not work for Windows and Linux — at Version 1

Description (last modified by )
I have tried running as per the advice in the manual (of course replacing the appropriate "VM name" and ports):
VBoxManage bandwidthctl "VM name" add Limit --type disk --limit 20M VBoxManage storageattach "VM name" --storagectl "SATA" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium disk1.vdi --bandwidthgroup Limit VBoxManage storageattach "VM name" --storagectl "SATA" --port 1 --device 0 --type hdd --medium disk2.vdi --bandwidthgroup Limit
However, when I run fio benchmark to check I am always getting a bandwidth which is not related to the limit I set.
So, I ran the fio benchmark with ioengine=posixaio to make sure that the io is asynchronous, however I see no difference.
This runs fine on a host MAC and guest Ubuntu and there are issues with host Windows, Ubuntu and RHEL6.
