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.
