Case sensitivity and VirtualBox shared folder

Case sensitivity and VirtualBox shared folder
Weird but true behaviour:
I have the case sensitive encrypted disk (sparse bundle with HFSX type) mounted in VBox shared folders. All works fine, after VM starts:
touch zz zZ
creates two files, both “inside VM” ~/development/ATG/platform-edc
as well as in OS-X.
If the VM is suspended and resumed, it looses the case sensitivity inside the VM.
The command
cd ~/development/ATG/platform-edc
touch zz zZ
will create just single file. Outside the VM, in OS-X file system is still case sensitive.
It looks as if the wake-up remounted the volumen and normal HFS+ instead of HFSX
