After looking at:
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/vmwareapi/vmops.py#L511
and
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/vmwareapi/vmops.py#L529

I believe the problem may be related to:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=900

Specifically: "When using snapshots, a virtual machine's virtual disks can be comprised of multiple VMDK files which are part of an interdependent chain."

The code at L511 appears to assume a single VMDK file which is not the case when working with snapshots (in VMware vSphere)
