This makes me wonder what other components are also buggy somehow and needs to be updated?
first, this is a specific bug in vbox that was fixed some time ago but didn't make it into debian yet (because it lags a significant amount of upstream releases behind; and yes, i should and will fill a bug about it at some later point).
How many (old) hardware machines has something similar too? And how much more testing we need to declare that everything we use is compatible?
second, if you follow the bug, it's affecting sid and doesn't affect wheezy release images - they will have the same tested and working syslinux version that has proven to be stable during d-i alpha/beta images (unless i'm missing something and d-i *release* images are built with sid packages as well, in which case i personally would consider such a misfeature to be in critical need of a fix (iirc steve puts a local copy of the 'to be used' syslinux version to be used by debian-cd for release images manually on the local fs; not sure about the same that ends up in the final release copy of debian-installer-images, will check later on)).
