After much gnashing of teeth over this issue, after building and installing vbox 6.1.34 and the oracles-ext package, all issues are gone. The framebuffer problem is gone on headless access of Archlinux guests and the failure to redraw widows on move that left artifacts is also gone. So these issues are fixed in the new release.
