It did exactly what it was supposed to. By installing dkms, the host will
automatically build the kernel modules for each kernel when installing it,
and remove them (which is what you saw) when uninstalling it. You can see
the currently installed kernel modules with the command "dkms status". You
should have a vboxhost entry corresponding to each installed kernel, similar
to this:

vboxhost, 4.2.16, 3.10.10-200.fc19.x86_64, x86_64: installed
vboxhost, 4.2.16, 3.10.7-200.fc19.x86_64, x86_64: installed
vboxhost, 4.2.16, 3.10.9-200.fc19.x86_64, x86_64: installed
