This might not be a bug, if virtualbox is exporting the KVMKVMKVM
CPUID leaf (meaning that the hypervisor is either using KVM or has
KVM-like properties).

On the other hand you could try patching virt-what in the obvious way:

 if echo "$dmi" | grep -q 'Manufacturer: innotek GmbH'; then
     echo virtualbox
+    skip_qemu_kvm=true
 fi
