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.
