Recent VirtualBox versions don't allow to upgrade as long as there is a VBoxSVC daemon running.

You are right, VirtualBox versions 2.1.0 until 2.1.4 will crash when they are uninstalled as long as they are running. The reason is that these releases do not prevent unloading the vboxnetflt module while a VM is running. This is fixed in release 2.2.0, so when you upgrade VBox the next time, the upgrade should work fine.
