I just took the time to try all combinations (pae/non-pae host & pae /non-pae guest) and all combinations seem to work.
It only takes a lot of time to start up (but an approximately equal amount of time in all combinations): Around 50" to get to the screen with 'Ubuntu 10.10' and the 4-dots progress indicator and an additional 15" to get to the login prompt. Come to think of it, it may not be an exceptionally long time, but for a headless system that doesn't run any services except ssh it seems rather long. @Bart: Can you give it a try?
