First of all why should this be a bug in guest-utils? This looks to me as if
you don't have the right modules for your kernel. Unfortunately your bug report
lacks information about the virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms version installed. Also
we need to make sure that you indeed have compiled modules for your kernel. So
please remove the modules you have and re-build them

I honestly doubt that. This bug is old and was fixed ages ago.
