mitchellh/vagrant — Issue #618: Missing error message that virtual box guest additions couldn't be loaded

This leads to the shared folders not being loaded - but no error message indicating that is shown. Instead they are just not loaded and any subsequent provision will fail (as well as all development). However the box still accepts ssh connections.

I'm not sure how, but any error message indicating this would be really helpful. If virtual box doesn't emit any, maybe testing that the shared folders have been loaded via ssh before they are used could be a possibility.

Hope this helps others as I searched for nearly an hour before I found out what was happening.
