Chris, Current solution is to enable storage.overprovisioning.factor in global settings. Long term solution as per discussion with Edison, who maintains storage framework, is to do real lookup of actual space.
I'm in exact situation as you are, I've overprovisioned by factor of 20 (maybe an over kill). I also rely on vSphere monitoring for space alerts.
