From the above, I found this bug report with the following workaround:
xinput set-prop "VirtualBox mouse integration" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0.5 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 0 1.0 xinput set-prop "VirtualBox mouse integration" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1.0 0 0 0 1.0 0 0 0 1.0
EDIT: After some research, I created a package that fixes this. I used this patch (instigated by this bug) to create it. The patch is already merged into upstream. It's just not released yet.
I'm not using arch in the VM that was having this problem... but I'm so glad I ended up looking at this forum, this fixed the problem for me. thank you so much
]]>edit:
it's moved from testing to stable. For me it seems, that the error is fixed now. Thanks to all who helped.
Maybe the thread starter wants to set it to [solved]
]]>This is something that was introduced with an xorg patch, but it's acutally an underlying bug on a transform function. XOrg maintainers have fixed this in master but there is no new version of xorg-server to get this change. I opened a bug to get the XOrg patch into the 1.13.0 package.
Please vote if you think it should be fixed

At first look, this appears to be a valid workaround (at least on my end).
Thanks!
This one didn't work for me.
Yeah I actually spoke too soon yesterday. The behavior was curtailed a bit, but it still occurred. I'll try out the patch when I get home, hopefully will have better luck.

Reverting to 1.12.2 also solved the problem for me. Gentoo ~amd64 guest, Windows 7 X64 + VirtualBox 4.1.20 host.
I git-bisected it down to xorg/xserver commit 889ce06946b8c1a246130a899e2702a3d7340fd2. That patch supposedly fixes a similar issue on tablets, so I'm not sure how it caused breakage instead. It'd be nice if someone who understood a bit about X internals went through the X.Org bug reporting procedure.
For any Gentoo users that happen to be coming in from Google, here's a revert patch for use in combination with 1.12.3. Easiest way to get it in is by using the epatch_user feature (mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/x11-base/xorg-server and put it in there with a .patch extension, rebuild xorg-server). You may have to install x11-misc/util-macros to prevent an eautoreconf failure. I'm not sure if reverting this breaks anything else, use at your own risk.
This patch worked for me when applied to 1.13.0 abs/xorg-server

]]>]]>Virtualbox forums https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=51125 seem to point to the problem being xorg. I have the same symptoms in Fedora 17 and Arch VMs, both x86_64.
It was reported that downgrading xorg server fixed the problem. I haven't yet figured out how to downgrade X with Arch Linux.
Is there an old package archive?
just that
