I can confirm this error running.
I managed to get a little further by using the following pam configuration :
auth sufficient /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix.so shadow 
null ok
auth required /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_auth.so shadow 
nullok
account sufficient /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix.so
account required /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpam.so.0/security/pam_unix_acct.so 

 Now my authd.log produces :

May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM (other) illegal module type: 
@include
May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM pam_parse: expecting return 
value; [...common-auth]

May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM unable to dlopen(<*unknown 
module path*>)
May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM [error: <*unknown module 
path*>: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
May 26 04:31:00 desktop1 vmware-authd[8767]: PAM adding faulty module: 
<*unknown module path*>

Note... I have also unsuccessfully tried using the following in my pam 
configuration as suggested by another:-
@include common-auth
@include common-account
