I have recently started using TKL in a VBox VM on Win7 and the lack of graceful external shutdown has been causing me some pain too so I investigated a little more. As it turns out there is a package you need; it's called acpi-support. It pulls down about 18MB of dependancies but it works! Install like this:
apt-get update
apt-get install acpi-support
My VBox instance now happily shuts down when instructed to by VBox! :)
Found a fix!
