Downgrading to the version in testing fixes this issue for me:

merkaba:~> apt-show-versions | grep virtualbox
virtualbox:amd64/testing 5.1.6-dfsg-2+b1 uptodate
virtualbox:i386 not installed
virtualbox-dkms:all/testing 5.1.6-dfsg-2 uptodate
virtualbox-ext-pack:all/testing 5.1.6-2 uptodate
virtualbox-guest-additions-iso:all 5.1.8-1 newer than version in archive
virtualbox-qt:amd64/testing 5.1.6-dfsg-2+b1 uptodate
virtualbox-qt:i386 not installed

Thanks,
