Errm, I don't know what to say.
Today I rebooted and tried again... and it worked. o.O

```
$ VBoxManage startvm 92522455-ebd0-4a67-8a38-4ba05ca3fc00
Waiting for VM "92522455-ebd0-4a67-8a38-4ba05ca3fc00" to power on...

```

I did not reinstall Virtualbox. Just an ordinary regular apt update && apt upgrade today.

Hm, what remains is my sticky bit for /usr/share/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM:
```
$ find /usr/lib/virtualbox/ -type f -executable | xargs ls -l | grep rws
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 166208 Jun 22 09:15 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM
```

I don't know why it works today, despite my tries yesterday... maybe the virtual box kernel modules have some magic residing in memory and thus ignoring my attempts until a reboot.

See myself puzzled...
