I've tried manually killing gnome-settings-daemon before login. I can confirm this allows the user's desktop to be properly themed. There must be a subtle race condition that is exploited more easily in a VirtualBox VM. I've run Natty on 2 different computers and VirtualBox is the only place the problem occurs for me.
