I'm experiencing this as well.
I have a linux host and a linux guest.
By simply using the network a lot by running Freenet the memory usage of virtualbox increases until there is no more memory left on the host.
The memory used by the guest, as perceived by the guest is still OK.
This makes virtualbox unusable for certain usage.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 3.2.12 (there are leak fixes).
