What you're trying to do is nested virtualization. Its not supported in virtualbox and in no way is a priority for them.
You'll need to run the XP VM in the host instead.
In THEORY you could run plain old QEMU in the VM (it emulates the whole processor and pretty much the whole system) to do this but the performance will be really really bad.
