VirtualBox 4.3.20 breaks FreeBSD Xorg

I updated to VirtualBox v4.3.20 (host and guest additions)  and whenever I attempt to launch startx or startxfce4 on the guest I only see a blank black screen. The log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) showed that the issue was vboxvideo related.

I downgraded VirtualBox to v4.3.18 and Xfce works again!
