I was able to successfully build the example "jessie-vagrant.yml"[1],
both on an outdated[2] and an updated[3] on a Jessie machine, and
start the box afterwards, using the latest code from the upstream
master branch. Can you share you manifest and build logs?

This is something that I have been talking with Marcin Kulisz, as we
are facing build problems after the latest Jessie update, but we
suspect that it affects the package (0.9.0-1) from the repository[4],
not builds from the upstream code. For instance, I wasn't able to
build a machine based on
"/usr/share/doc/bootstrap-vz/examples/manifests/virtualbox-vagrant.manifest.json"
(changing the release to "jessie" and updating the location of the
VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO). The following error is raised in the
"Installing grub" task:
CalledProcessError: Command 'chroot /target/74cdb45c/root grub-install
/dev/dm-0' returned non-zero exit status 1
I guess this fix can be backported from upstream[5] as a non-intrusive
change that could be included in a future jessie-proposed-update. I'll
look further into this.
Anyway, this doesn't looks like what you are facing, because you had
no problems in building the machine, only when starting the Vagrant
box, right? Are you sure that this isn't a problem with VirtualBox
(e.g. their modules were properly built when updating to the latest
kernel? Has it rebooted after the last upgrade?)? Are you able to boot
other virtual machines with no problem?

Tiago.
