I think it is specific to RHEL/Centos. Server 2.x was broken by an update to
RHEL 5.x and neither RHEL nor VMware have done anything to fix it. I don't
think other supported distros were affected.

I don't think anyone likes the web-based console in the 2.x series anyway. I'd
either stick with the 1.x version or load ESXi on the hardware and move your
current OS to a guest.
