Makes sense to me (once I made sure I was using a constant-width font).
Zero buffers/cache, used and free memory before subtracting buffers and 
cache is the same as after.

I'd guess that has something to do with the way Virtuozzo does its 
virtualization.  It probably (apparently) doesn't bother with the buffer 
cache in the virtual machines, and only does that in the host kernel.
