This happens in all VirtualBox-Versions running GuestAdditions > 5.0.16. You can use newer VirtualBox-Versions but have to keep the 5.0.16 Additions otherwise graphical glitches like in the screenshot happen.

The funny thing is, the tiles flip around if one moves the mouse cursor...

Might this be a duplicate of #15417? In any case, see the wiki page about support for 3D in X11 guests, or the lack of it.
