Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
From the User Manual, footnote [1] on ch. "1.4. Supported host operating systems"
So, try with the latest VirtualBox from the 4.3.x series and see if that works. But even that is not supported as well, so I don't think that this ticket will receive any real attention.
Basically you're trying an unsupported OS with an unsupported program. Not that many chances that the situation will change any time soon...
