vboxdrv.rules breaks other custom rules

Description
I'm an arch linux user and i noticed there's a bad behavior caused by the vboxdrv.rules udev rule file (placed in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/10-vboxdrv.rules). It basically breaks my other rules, blocking the execution of the scripts/applications inside them; i fixed it by changing the "RUN=" entries to "RUN+=", everything now is working flawlessly. Here's my edited file:
KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600" ENV{ACL_MANAGE}="1"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh $major $minor $attr{bDeviceClass} vboxusers"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", RUN+="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh $major $minor $attr{bDeviceClass} vboxusers"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh --remove $major $minor"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="remove", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", RUN+="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh --remove $major $minor"
Running Arch Linux, kernel 3.5.4-1-ARCH

The virtualbox version I installed is the one I picked from the "community" Arch repository via the Arch package manager. The version of udev management tool is the 193. Thanks to you.

Could you please remove it and see if you have the same issue when using our "all distributions" installer? This shouldn't have any effect on your virtual machines if you keep to the same version, other than that you will have to stop them all first.

Actually that package has exactly the bug you describe. So please open a bug report at their bugtracker as this is not a bug of the VirtualBox packages made by Oracle.
A couple of questions. How are you installing VirtualBox? Our "all distributions" installer which I would expect you to use on Arch should place the rule into "/etc/udev/rules.d", not into "/usr/lib/udev/rules.d". And can you provide the output of the command "udevadm version 2>/dev/null" run at the command shell? Thanks.
