I think we can resolve this bug as fixed. Just one note for those how are trying to use streamOptimized images with VMware: you need to patch the VMDK version because VMware products accept only version 3 for streamOptimized:
# Set VMDK version 3 for foo.vmdk
$ printf '\x03' | dd conv=notrunc of=foo.vmdk bs=1 seek=$((0x4))
