Also experiancing the same problem
I've also recently been experiencing this exact same problem. So far I haven't been able to reliably reproduce the problem itself and it seems to happen sporadically, but I too am just suspending my Windows 7 VM and coming across the problem when starting the VM up again.
The one thing I do do though is when logged in at work I use an Ethernet cable, but when logging in at home I use wireless. Could the switching between the two networks be a possible cause for this? Unfortunately I have tried to replicate the problem by switching from cable to wireless but I can't seem to replicate it.
I am using a VM pointing to a boot camp partition with no backup software being used at all, not even Time Machine.
