It also works correctly, both in i686 and x86_64, on 2.6.21-rc2 and earlier.

Please retry with the vboxdrv from the svn HEAD if possible. Use
src/VBox/HostDrivers/Support/linux/export_modules ~/vboxdrv.tar.gz
to export the kernel module from the svn tree.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Also, it works correctly on Linux/i686.
