Hi Nick, I recently wrote an article about this on my blog (although mine was based on Windows 2008, but should be the same process)
http://dennypc.wordpress.com/ I ran into a similar issues as you and ran a few additional configuration for winrm on the guest. I also used Chef's knife windows plugin to verify that winrm was working fine. Detailed steps are covered on my blog. Also packer-windows templates are based on SSH at the moment, so if you're trying to use WinRM you might have to roll your own box any ways.
