In six months since Oneric this bug is not solved it's important for you, but i suspect is not very important for Cannonical. I think if you use VMWare or similar programs you should use other desktop like xfce, or apply the hack commented above (increase manually the border width of the windows, it works for me in 11.10) better than expect a fix in precise.
