Craig Fratrik, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. If you install in your Ubuntu guest the package:
virtualbox-guest-x11

does this work for you instead of the CD guest additions?

Title:
  make kernelrelease outputs the wrong variable

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  /lib/modules/3.11.0-14-generic/build/Makefile contains the following
  line:

      kernelrelease:                                                                  
        @echo "$(KERNELVERSION)$$($(CONFIG_SHELL) $(srctree)/scripts/setlocalversion $(srctree))"

  which is different than $(KERNELRELEASE)

  Later, this makes virtualbox guest additions think that the kernel
  headers for this kernel have not been downloaded.
