unity is unusable under llvmpipe in virtualbox

[Rocko]

My Ubuntu 12.10 alpha 3 VM is pretty much unusable running in virtualbox (4.2rc1) using compiz/llvmpipe (Unity2D used to run fine). The screen flickers, parts of windows randomly disappear, all of or parts of minimized windows stay visible but cannot be accessed, minimized windows cannot be restored, etc. The virtualbox guest additions don't install correctly, so I can't try 3d mode.

Sample screenshot of Ubuntu 12.10 under compiz/llvmpipe.

In this screenshot, unity is incorrectly drawing the terminal window off the left of the screen, but as you type in commands, it helpfully shows output in the middle of the screen where the terminal window is supposed to be.
