It is certainly affected in 4.0.12 and newer. It seems that if you try to power down an XP guest and the absolute pointer is activated in the guest settings Windows get all the way to the last and just hangs. You can click the red X and select to power down and it will finish the shutdown. Disabling the absolute pointer solves this. I can pass the guest logs but don't think you need them since the actual defect is known.
