In the past, LTSP has simply worked like any other desktop, compiz runs its tests and if they work it starts, if the don't metacity would start instead.
That worked quite well with maverick and earlier releases and I'd hope we can get the same behavior working with Natty.

Does unity work properly in that same VM ? Is there something wrong with Virtualbox's 3D driver that would make unity fail in this case ? If so, we probably should make sure it's part of the tests done by unity/compiz to determine if the system is unity-capable.

I haven't tried running a real thin client with unity yet but I have quite a few thin clients running maverick with compiz running just fine, so I'd expect unity to work on them too (as it's a compiz plugin).
