I just added a lock for the virtualbox-guest-x11 package and was then able to update without it attempting to install.
I'm not sure having zypper look at decide it wants to install extra packages in this type situation is a good thing. If somebody installs virtualbox from openSUSE, then that packages is added as a dependency to begin with.
However, if the user has installed virtualbox from another source, then this package should be no more than a "recommends", not something that will evade the --no-recommends option requiring a full lock to prevent the thing -- that was not asked for to begin with -- from installing.
It is difficult to imagine how zypper should/could deal with that.
