I had this issue. The problem occurs when the host VM has permission to "monitor all traffic" on the parent host. The DHCP request ends up going outside the VMware host (despite whatever your nat/hostonly settings are) to the parent VMware installation or external DHCP server. You can verify this by looking at what subnet the VM is supposed to be on ( /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf) and comparing it to the actual IP that the VM receives (VNC to the instance packer is building). If you go to your parent DHCP server and look at the leases, you will likely find your DHCP lease.
If you can figure out how to deny that traffic, it will get the correct DHCP server and the lease will end up in the correct file for packer. It's all terribly confusing, so hopefully this makes sense.
