I am not using virtualbox, but am still getting this exact problem. Should I make a new bug?

There's a bug in proprietary ATI drivers which also makes screenshots black. If you're using them, there was a bug about it here somewhere, probably in Ubuntu. If you don't use them, please report a new bug and attach the output of "sudo lshw"
