I believe the issue is that T-Mobile phones are locked to the network (T-Mobile) so any SIM that uses the T-Mobile network (T-Mobile, Virgin, Fresh, easymobile, oldBT) can be used in them.
However, I believe Virgin phones are locked to the service provider (Virgin) and not the network (T-Mobile). So you can only use Virgin SIMs in them (but on any network that Virgin have an agreement with (so they could move to the Vodafone network, for example, without having to unlock the phones).
However, you can get a free unlock code from Virgin providing you have topped-up with at least £30 since connecting.
