I did some research. The responsible utility VBoxClient is part of the
package virtualbox-guest-x11.
It is started from the script /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient
during X server startup.
You could try to execute the checks there manually, i.e. run

lspci -d 80ee:beef

(should show something like "VGA compatible controller"

and

test -c /dev/vboxguest
echo $?

(should give 0 for success)

Best regards,
Michael
