I think so, it´s causing Windows guests.
We had this Problems only on 64 bit Systems of Server´s 2008 und Server´s 2012 R2. We have 2 VM´s (Windows Server 2003 - 32bit) we need them for old applications - this Systems never crashed!
Our Linux Server´s never crashed, too - because on the Linux machines are other vmtools.
We had the same effect, different machines crashed after deleting snapshot´s.
After rollback our hosts to update 2 we haven´t Problems.
