I reported using same illumos timestamp with no issues at the moment, 
but truly with the other hardware then yours.
Do you actually use benefits of VirtualBox proprietary extension and can 
you try without having it installed. (Make new BE out of working, boot 
from new BE, disable extension, update)
You could try disabling some of drivers that are non-essential and try 
over.
What are VBox machine settings

It is valuable to see what is actually going on, because running on 
newer hardware truly is more valuable for the future then the old 
hardware I run on..

If at the moment VBox is working right on one OI's BE, VBox stays the 
same and you try getting just illumos is updated, that is where to find 
the problem as you suggested.
Feel free to come to irc.Freenode.net, #openindiana and #oi-dev and 
#illumos IRC channels so we can interactively discuss, pastebin/bpaste 
and try to see what could be done for your install.
