The relevant change has been made upstream in vmdebootstrap. Bdale
reported in the bug report[1] that this fix has indeed solved the
problem. Please try this fix. You can either install the vmdebootstrap
from latest git or simply modify the kpartx line in
/usr/sbin/vmdebootstrap to contain "kpartx -avs" instead of "kpartx
- -av". See the patch in the bug report.

This is almost the last step that converts the built image into a
virtualbox image. It looks like the $NAME variable in the Makefile got
mangled somehow. Could it be the environment in your shell? A fresh
shell might help.
