Horizontal wheel-scroll becomes alt-vertical-wheel-scroll

Description
I have a Windows 7 guest on Virtualbox 4.1.18 r78361 on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 host (Unity 2D/3D), and when in the Windows guest, a horizontal mouse wheel-scroll becomes the alt-vertical-scroll event (with effect similar to page-up/down). This is very annoying as whenever I accidentally touch horizontal scroll wheel the whole page jumps up or down a full page or more. This happens both of my bluetooth mouses (Apple and Logitech). I have the latest guest addition installed on the guest Windows 7 OS. I've tried both PS2 mode and absolute position mode (e.g. tablet mode) HID mouse emulation in virtualbox setup, with same result. I can't find any mention of this problem after an hour of search.
BTW, the same Virtualbox with an Ubuntu guest works fine, e.g. horizontal and vertical mouse wheel-scroll work as they normally should.
What can I do? If it can't be fixed, e.g. horizontal scroll-wheel to scroll horizontally, then I don't mind if there is a way to disable horizontal scroll-wheel events from Virtualbox's .vbox guest-machine configuration...
not fixed in the latest 4.1.20 r80170
