The bug affected experimental and later unstable and is fixed in both.
wheezy was never affected by this because the wheezy kernel is based on
v3.2.

Apparently you already reopened the bug for whatever reason.
It shouldn't be surprising that external kernel modules don't work with
the latest kernel version since the API is constantly changing.

The latest version of virtualbox is in wheezy-backports which is compatible
with the kernel from wheezy-backports.
