i am also having this problem on amd64 debian sid, using:
qemu 1.7.0+dfsg-5
on the guest system, i'm also running sid:
linux-image-amd64 3.13+56
xserver-xorg-video-vmware 1:13.0.1-3+b1
i added vmwgfx to /etc/modules, trying to follow the directions here
(aside from using VMware Play, etc.):
http://www.x.org/wiki/vmware/vmware3D/
however, that only gives me the bug sooner than Michael.
