I have also now gotten MediaWiki-Vagrant working directly on the Parallels
provider:
The stock Ubuntu box for Parallels doesn't include Puppet, but there's a
Vagrant plugin for installing puppet which seems to work fine. (Didn't have
luck with the puphpet-based box, something awry with the init/upstart
scripts.)

the plus that you can use a stock VM if
you're going to run Linux anyway.
But MediaWiki-Vagrant uses a "stock VM". Its Vagrantfile loads a
trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant-disk1.box which contains a vmdk that
as far as I know is much like other Ubuntu VMs.
This is a plus for me as I use VMs for a lot of
testing and
prefer Parallels for its much better/faster graphics support.
Did you try Parallels instead of VirtualBox? "The Parallels provider for
Vagrant is a plugin officially supported by Parallels. The plugin allows
Vagrant to power Parallels Desktop for Mac based virtual machines"
http://parallels.github.io/vagrant-parallels/
LXC on a Linux host should be faster than Vagrant VM, but it's hard to see
how running Vagrant as an LXC in a VM on a Mac can be faster than running
Vagrant as its own VM. 8-)
