FYI, it might be totally bad practise, but I just copied the kernel modules from the host that has the official tar installer, to the host with Ubuntu open-vm-tools (essentially replacing /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-server/updates/dkms/*.ko ), and after rebooting everything seems to work fine, i.e. I was able to make a couple of quiesced snapshots.
I guess this means that the fault must be somewhere in the modules?
