This doesn't just affect Windows XP, but Windows 7 guests as well. I would suspect it happens for any Windows host/guest combination.

An update - for me, at least, this only happens with monitor 1 in focus. If I ALT+TAB or use the Windows key while the second monitor is in focus, they work correctly.

Same here - the icon in the VM window's status bar shows that the keyboard is captured, but in VM window 1 Alt-TAB will go to the host, while in VM window 2 it'll go to the guest... weird.

This appears to be fixed in 3.2.2.
