Linux host, WinXP guest fails to start properly 1st time, OK 2nd time

Description
I have been hitting this while testing both OSE and PUEL editions of 2.0.2, it was not present in 1.6.4 it seems.
When I boot the host and start the guest, everything seems normal until a minute or so later when the guest seems slowed down to the state of being unusable (e.g. a mouse click is reflected in about 30 seconds) and if I click a few times it stops responding at all, screen is not redrawn, etc. The only way out is to close the guest :-|
On any subsequent starts of the guest (no host reboot), everything is fine, working as expected.
I tried to fiddle with different settings of VT-x and PAE but it didn't make any difference. This is fairly reproducible may be 99% of the time:
- Boot the host
- Start the guest, wait a few minutes
- (Have to) close the guest
- start the guest again -> works OK
- Shutdown the guest (from inside it)
[no problem repeating 4,5 ad infinitum]
I'll attach two logs (1st run and 2nd run).

i am having exactly the same issue on one setup (host ubuntu 8.04 i386; various linux guests), but not on another setup (ubuntu server x64 8.04; various linux guests).
it seems to happen just over 4 minutes after the VMs start (4m6sec to be precise).
poweroff the VMs and restart them and the problem is gone.
i have tried everything within my linux powers to no avail.
the fact that it happens on the i386 setup but not the x64 setup may help? could mean its a linux kernel issue or a version (x86 v x64) of vbox issue.

The host driver should be locate at /usr/share/virtualbox/src/ if you installed VirtualBox from the PUEL version as .deb or .rpm or in /opt/VirtualBox-2.0.2/src if you installed the PUEL version as .run.
