Used to have that setup. After the third complete vSphere cluster shutdown due to junos upgrade I switched to link aggregation instead of a single virtual chassis. 8 switches in 2 vc's with a 2x10Gb lag removed that particular pain. Given the performance of the 4200 we use this setup for vmotion, ft, management and standard vm networks as well.
