The real question is whether the vmware driver in libvirt has been properly wired up to obey that API on a multi-disk VM. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that, as I don't use vmware myself, but you are welcome to try and debug and submit a patch if no one else more familiar with the vmware driver in libvirt steps in.
