Workaround that works for me: Hit Right Ctrl (virtualbox host key) then
click the clock or shutdown menu at the top until it responds.  Keyboard
control will be returned to the lock screen.

A note: any keyboard input from the lock screen will be passed thru to
the full screen VM (i.e. your password).

Title:
  Unable to unlock session after locking with VirtualBox VM running in
  fullscreen

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I lock the screen while a VirtualBox VM is running in fullscreen,
  the lockscreen doesn't react to any input, keyboard or mouse.

  As a workaround, it's possible to switch to a workspace without a
  fullscreen VM or to leave fullscreen before locking the screen.

  This bug affects other users aswell, see here:

  when-virtualbox-is-in-full-screen-mode

  I'll do more tests to narrow the issue down and update the bug.
  If you need me to perform any specific tests, I'll gladly do so.
