Can't install Guest Additions in Windows 10 guest under Windows 8.1

Description
I have never been able to install the Guest Additions ever since I first tried the Technical Preview of Windows 10 and VirtualBox 4.28 or 4.30. It has always failed when installing the WDDM driver.
This is the case with the current VirtualBox test build 5.0.3r102322 and its Guest Additions 5.0.3.102316.
I attach the machine log and a screen shot of the Guest Additions installation. As the machine is unusable after the Guest Additions intended installation, I was only able to get its installation log by attaching the virtual disk to another Windows 7 VM. However, it doesn't show any errors.
I did a machine reset but, on reboot, I still had a blank screen and had to "power it off". I restored the machine to a saved VBox snapshot in order to be able to use it.

I managed to install the Guest Additions by disabling both 3D Acceleration and 2D Video Acceleration.
