Description
When a session is started with VBoxManage, this is shown as process info:
$ ps -ef | grep "JeOS"
user 7085 6439 7 11:51 ? 00:00:02 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxHeadless -comment Ubuntu JeOS -startvm 1fff150e-cdcb-4502-9aac-09f0506c298d}}}
When a session is started with VBoxHeadless, the uuid in not shown as process info:
{{{
user 7541 6636 34 11:58 pts/1 00:00:02 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxHeadless -startvm Ubuntu JeOS}}}
This (showing the uuid as prcess info) is much needed because otherwise it is virtually impossible to identify the session pid when there are multiple sessions running.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand what you would like changed. If you start VBoxHeadless with the command
VBoxHeadless -startvm Ubuntu\ JeOS
then you will indeed see the process info that you described. If you start it as
VBoxHeadless -comment Ubuntu\ JeOS -startvm 1fff150e-cdcb-4502-9aac-09f0506c298d
then you will see the process info you would apparently like to see.
