xoristzatziki's suggestion of backporting VirtualBox 5.2.6 to 16.04 LTS is what I think needs to happen here.

Following Alkis Georgopoulos's advice, I can confirm that 5.2.6 works great on the 4.13 kernel

To install it, I ran all of this as one command:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list' ; wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add ; sudo apt remove virtualbox ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt install virtualbox-5.2
