What's the content of line number 1 of the alvis.vmx file?
The first two lines are:
.encoding = "UTF-8"
config.version = "8"
Looking at an ESX3i one I see the .encoding line is not there so I guess
that is the problem.

Oh, that's a bug in the VMX parsing code, I'll fix that. The VMX
parsing hasn't get much testing with in-the-wild VMX files yet. It
would be useful if you could send my some of your VMX files to build
up a pool as input for automatic testing and to make the VMX parser
more robust.
You could apply this quick fix for testing:
That works, yes.
