@Adam: I've been thinking, if your are absolutely sure that version 6.5 works in other distros with the 2.6.35 kernel, it shouldn't be better to make a new bug report? (since this one affects versions 7.x also, and for that versions there's a workaround). Maybe, if you can point out the kernel headers that are missing (if possible of course) somebody related to the kernel development would be able to explain why are they missing (or consider the possibility of adding them).
First of all, check that the other distros you are trying with vmware 6.5 are using the same kernel version as Ubuntu (maybe the linux kernel version is incompatible with vmware 6.5 and this is not a problem with Ubuntu itself). In order to check your kernel version, you can just run uname -r from the console.
