Virtualbox instance captures "battery critical low" shutdown signal

[era]

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

When my laptop battery reached critical level while I had a Virtuabox instance up and running, the virtualbox instance, not the host computer, was shut down.

I speculate that the root cause may be identical to the case in bug #279775
