For pyTivo with Python 2.7.8 the network traffic is being modified somehow on the Host

Description
I've been using pyTivo and VirtualBox on the same host for a long time. It worked fine until I upgraded from 4.3.12 to 4.3.16. There were no errors produced, but my TiVo could not access pyTivo. I downgraded back to 4.3.12 and pyTivo started working again. Not really sure what log files I could produce to demonstrate the problem. I do not see any errors in any of the Windows log files and pyTivo shows no problems. I can only surmise that it is some sort of networking issue. However I can still access the web address for the program, http://pytivohost:9032, from another computer. Only my TiVo cannot access it.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with 16GB of RAM. Not particularly relevant, but my guests are also Windows 7 64-bit. The problem exists whether any guests are running or not.

Regarding the log files: The most important log file is always the VBox.log file of such a VM session. This gives, for example, a quick overview about your VM setup.

I just tested with 4.3.18. No change. Beacon of 255.255.255.255 still fails, but workaround of setting beacon to the specific subnet broadcast mask still works.
This appears to have something to do with the default beacon address of 255.255.255.255. I changed it to my local subnet, 192.168.1.255 as an example, and it resolved the issue without having to downgrade, but this doesn't explain why I had to make this change.
