I also noticed the same behaviour for Xen VM if
OS = [ BOOTLOADER = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" ]
is specified in VM template whereas VM boots normally if the lines as 
below are used:
OS = [ BOOTLOADER = "/usr/bin/pygrub" ]
RAW = [ type = "xen", data = "builder = 'hvm'" ]

Just a guess: maybe in your case (VMware) the proper bootloader needs to 
be specified as well as some additional "raw" options.

HTH,
