It seems to me there's a simple way to check.  Pick 4k of random data
(say, dd if=/dev/urandom of=newfile bs=4k count=1) and copy that onto
the VM filesystem.  Now write a little program to read the .vmdk file
and find that 4k of data.  Report the offset, and check offset % 4096
== 0.  This won't help you fix things, but it'll at least tell you
that something is wrong.
