Really interesting what you found.

At the top of the joomla page it does state that using the advanced server .htaccess will cause problems with VM.  Clearly the base installed version does not.

http://docs.joomla.org/Htaccess_examples_%28security%29

You are ultimately responsible for disabling sections or writing exception rules for legitimate requests that fail. Most notably, the advanced server protection section will cause issues with several minifiers, eXtplorer, VirtueMart and other extensions which use non-standard scripts as their entry points. You must add exceptions manually to the proper area of the file.

If Alatak can propose a mod exception setting then this might be a solution for those wishing to use this version of .htaccess, however much other testing might be needed as the author gives little further indication as to the VM "issues".
