This morning, when I checked the available updates in the update manager, I found a new kernel waiting to be installed. I upgraded to this kernel (version 3.0.0-17.30) and successfully booted into it with no problems.

william@ishtar:~$ uname -a
Linux ishtar 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 17:34:21 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

After I booted into this kernel, I found that I was able to make big disk image files with both the qemu-img command and through the VirtualBox GUI. I was also able to interrupt the file creation process with ctl-c in the command window, or by pressing the cancel button in VirtualBox.

This issue seems to be fixed with this new kernel.
