It looks like there's a dependency loop. vboxnetflt or vboxnetadp depend on vboxdrv and with the soft dependency you created a loop. This one is easy to break, because we should be detecting that the dependency was already inserted. I'm fixing this for the next version and I'll send here the patch, so Archlinux can pick it up before the next release. Dave, did you see any similar bug report? It's one more place where the implementation in libkmod is fixed, but modprobe is shooting its own foot.
