QEMU ignores the CHS numbers in VMDK images. From the report, it seems VirtualBox uses it.
So like what you've discovered, for QEMU the right thing to do for such a guest would be setting the correct values explicitly from the command line, rather than let it decide (guess).

I have no idea about the first issue, though.
