The virtualbox module needs to be in full sync with the kernel. Most
probably the sources being used by the cluster for building packages on
head are a little different from yours, so the kernel module is not in sync.

You will need to build the kernel module yourself to actually match your
kernel sources.

It's not really a problem or a bug, it's how it works. On head there is
no warranty about the KBI. This cannot happen on releases and stable
because the KBI is not going to change there.
