I was hit by the same error when I upgraded Virtualbox from 5.0.2 to 5.0.4.

Inspired by this Reddit Post I downgraded virtualbox back to 5.0.2 and the problem disappeared. So it seems to be a bug introduced with 5.0.4.

I upgraded to 5.0.8. today and everything works as expected, so they seem to have fixed the issue.
