I think these two will do it:
alias pci:v000080EEd0000BEEFsv*sd*bc*sc*i* virtualbox-guest-dkms
alias pci:v000080EEd0000CAFEsv00000000sd00000000bc*sc*i* virtualbox-guest-dkms

I haven't found where I need to put that on the new system without jockey.. The host is running VirtualBox 4.3.6 from Oracle.

What's wrong with the current?
Modaliases: vboxguest(pci:v000080EEd0000CAFEsv00000000sd00000000bc*sc*i*)
