Aha, after a bit of probing, it seems that it chokes
when /etc/vmware-tools/poweroff-vm-default is not present instead of
simply falling back to CONFVAL_HALT_DEFAULT, though I am not sure why it
works on the second try.  I guess the question is, should we include
default scripts, or just make the code DTRT if the scripts are not
present.
