OK, I finally got access to the VMs and was able to check the VMWare
version there:

$ vmware-toolbox-cmd -v
10.3.0.5330 (build-8931395)

So it's pre-VMWare 11.  And I double checked and confirmed that we can't
reproduce the problem reported here indeed:

# apt policy dmidecode 
dmidecode:
  Installed: 3.1-1
...
# cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid
42187693-2BD2-5AF3-BDA4-AAF4E13CA373
# cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid
42187693-2BD2-5AF3-BDA4-AAF4E13CA373

As I said above, the patch pointed at [1] is already present on 3.1-1
(in fact, it's been available since version 2.10), so there's something
else going on here.

Were you able to confirm that dmidecode 3.2 fixes the issue for you?

Cheers.
