This can be:
- Misconception in theme
- Use of a different color reference in vbox

Do you have solution? If not, you should report this upstream directly. There is something releated with packaging here?

Original VirtualBox, as I know, uses static linked Qt and doesn't use system theme. So problem is related to ArchLinux package, which uses dynamic linked Qt. I don't think mainsteam will do anything with this.
I don't know solution for now. When I'll be free I'll compare sources of 4.1.22 and 4.2.0 and maybe will found what change breaks this.

Original? virtualbox-bin (from AUR) use static compiled library. AFAIR theming doesn't works at all.

Our version is compiled with upstream makefiles and upstream Qt. So others distro should be affected like us.
A test with another distros can help to see if it's only ArchLinux related. That I don't believe today. Can you test this?
