I used to meet this problem on Ubuntu Precise using an official backported kernel from Quantal (linux-image-generic-lts-quantal 3.5.0.24.31) and VMWare Workstation 9.0.0.
The problem was fixed by upgrading to VMWare Workstation 9.0.1, which officially supports Ubuntu Quantal.
So this a VMWare bug, and I'll mark this bug "invalid" for Ubuntu.
