The difference is due to Windows not being smart with POSIX ACL permissions in many cases. This is also a limitation/problem with the VMware Tools HGFS driver and the permissions that it uses to map in the shared directory. You could try changing the shared folder type to SMB which may work on both Windows and OSX. There are some VMware forum posts around forcing symlinks and permissions on the HGFS shares, which typically requires adding a special vm.vmx config line to enable that feature.
