Write same error when using SAS controller with Arch Linux guest

Description
I'm installing an Arch Linux guest using the 2014.12.01 ISO image. I've taken the defaults for VM provisioning except for changing the default storage controller to SAS. The ISO is able to boot and the /dev/sda disk is able to be successfully partitioned using cgdisk. Creating an ext4 file system is also successful. However, when the new sda1 is mounted, errors begin appearing on the console: sda1: WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing.
I've changed the controller to SATA, and the problem is gone.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with the drivers in Arch, or with the SAS device in VirtualBox. I'm opening a bug with Arch as well, in case its not a vbox problem.
