Hmm i haven't had this problem before. I know you have to be careful on JUNOS upgrade, you don't want to use their latest and greatest for sure. I have 8 x 4200 switches in my DC with many VMware hosts, no issues so far, they are under on VC. I was thinking of changing to two VCs like you have just so i can have that redundancy in check too.
