Thanks Popey. I am using the upstream VBox and upstream guest
additions with this.
Today I tried Ubuntu 12.10 with the same Windows host and 3D
acceleration appears to work (although very slowly). My quick test was
to click the desktop switcher a few times which is "3D animated".
So conclusion right now is that this is something specific to that
Debian Squeeze guest.
