VB does not save settings on Windows system where C:\Users\[User] directory is a junction point

Description
Host: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit SP1 VirtualBox 4.2
My C:\Users\[User] directory is mapped via a Windows junction point to D:\Users\[User]. VirtualBox is unable to load/save settings from the [User]\.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml file.
VirtualBox starts without error. However, if I navigate to File > Preferences and make changes, nothing is saved. For instance, no matter what I do, these settings always come up the same: General > Default Machine Folder = <reset to default> General > VRDP Authentication Library = <reset to default> etc...

Cannot reproduce this with 4.3 or trunk on windows 7. Moving the user directory to a different drive and placing a junction point in c:\users to link to it works fine. I've also tried linking just the c:\users\xxxx\.VirtualBox directory to a different place and that work fine to (in fack I've been doing that during all of 4.3 development).
Upgrade to 4.3 and reopen the defect if the propblem persists.
