Hopefully this issue will be fixed in the next maintenance release of VMware Workstation, but I just thought I'd quickly add for anyone else who comes across this thread, that I've discovered during further work that the issue only affects 64-bit installs of Windows Server 2008 Core. All my 32-bit installs of Windows Server 2008 Core are unaffected and so the usage of the above workaround is not required.
