There may be some handler configured; what does 

(find-file-name-handler "/net/macosx/Users/jrose"
			'file-name-all-completions)

give you?

If that’s nil, then it’s a bug in our C code, as far as I can see. I’m sure
it’s reasonably easy to find; I can’t promise anything, but can you point me
towards a comparable VMWare image to your install? I’m on OS X, with VMWare
Fusion 1.1.1.
