I've reversed the duplicates around because this is a much more recent bug and easier to debug with fresh versions.

I've just done a fresh install using a standard ubuntu image from today and had no problems installing the virtualbox DKMS modules package myself.

Since you have all of the required packages installed i'm wondering if for some reason some of the files were not installed properly during the install time from ubiquity's file copy. Can you please check to see if you actually have a valid
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0-11-generic/Makefile symlink that points to /usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0.11/Makefile?

If not, then please repeat your install with ubiquity debug mode (debug-ubiquity on the kernel command line) and check whether that Makefile is present. If it's not present, please file a ubiquity bug (ubuntu-bug ubiquity) and mark this as a duplicate of that.
