If the setxkbmap workaround works, you can use a script like the one below for
convenience, run it
in the background while running vmware.
It works for me, and although the script resets the keymap even when the VM is
active,
I have not noticed any side-effects in the virtual machines.

# Set environment
waitsecs=5
# Run the loop
while true; do
# Check that the modifier keys exists
xmodmap -pm | grep 'Alt_L' > /dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
# Fix X keyboard map if not found
echo "`date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'` : X keyboard map fixed."
setxkbmap
fi
# Wait before running again
sleep $waitsecs
done
