After some more research, my problem seems to lie with the kernel. I cleaned the virtual machine and reinstalled Ubuntu 13.04 from an older ISO. After installation, the VM was running kernel 3.8.0-19-generic.
I then installed ldirectord and heartbeat, added a service through 'sudo /sbin/ipvsadm -A -u 10.0.50.4:53', and everything worked fine. I then ran a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade', which prompted the following:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-headers-3.8.0-31 linux-headers-3.8.0-31-generic linux-image-3.8.0-31-generic linux-image-extra-3.8.0-31-generic
The following packages will be upgraded:

python3-software-properties python3-update-manager python3.3 python3.3-minimal rsyslog software-properties-common tzdata ubuntu-release-upgrader-core update-manager-core whoopsie
After the installation of the kernel and packages, I added the service again, which still worked fine. Then I rebooted the machine, tried to add the service, and instantly got a kernel panic.
My conclusion is that the 3.8.0-31 kernel or one of the upgraded packages must be the culprit.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
