Just to clear up my expectations, if I were to try a similar set-up... When you are using NTFS I'm expecting that you are using virtualbox to mount the filesystem on the guest. When you use etx3, how are you sharing the files? Like a samba share? or does the virtualbox drive mount work in the other direction, somehow? FWIW, I do all of my virtualization on ESX, but every time one of these vagrant article comes up I'm tempted to try something local (win 8), to take advantage of the shared filesystem that most of vagrant's magic relies on (as I understand).
