Wow, I have never heard about this issue earlier

Hostd keeps tracks of all the tasks initiated by hostd service. What you could do here is check the hostd.log files and grep for the VM name and you would get to know the sequence of events that have occurred. If you don't find enough information you may consider increasing the logging level, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004795 for more information. Increasing the logging level would cause you root file system to fill fast so monitor the disk update using # df -h.

You are on the right track, Im sure you would get some information from the hostd logs, if possible upload them and even I will take a look at it.
