VMWare Workstation "One of the parameters supplied is invalid" during 3TB OVF import

I've got a 3TB VM on my ESXi 6.7 host that I export to an OVF.  When I try to import the image into VMWare Workstation or Fusion I get the error "One of the parameters supplied is invalid" and the import fails. 

If I create the same image with a 2TB disk the import into Workstation works fine.

I am able to import the image with ovftools using the switch -dm=twoGbMaxExtentFlat but I don't want to have to specify this every time.  I'd rather the image be importable through the Workstation UI.  Exporting the image with "ovftool -dm=twoGbMaxExtentFlat" doesn't resolve the issue either.  It's only effective during import.

Is there any way to get past this issue in Workstation and Fusion?

Thanks
