Hey Brad,
Happy to say that I have not really seen it happen since that one time and even then it was sporadic.
So while I believe you in the problem that you are bumping into, it does not happen to everybody or happen all the time.
Chances of this getting addressed when VMware cannot reproduce it are pretty slim I'm afraid.
I really hope they know how-to reproduce this, but somehow I doubt that.
