1.5.1, ESX deployment fails with "InvalidProperty"

I saw in vSphere that the VM was created in the right datacenter, but it
looks like it doesn't do any of the provisioning (the Summary tab in
vSphere doesn't show anything under Network, there's no OS installed so I'm
assuming no partitioning was done). The error is

Failed to create a compute houesx982 (VMWare) instance
puppet-test.example.com: InvalidProperty:

How do I find out what the invalid property is? The
/var/log/foreman/production.log just repeats the same error with no
clarification. I can provide more confirmations about my definitions for
compute resources/profiles, installation media, architectures, operating
systems, etc but I didn't want to give a giant dump of all that if this is
a known issue that can be answered with just a fraction of the information.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? Just hit the same issue…

Cheers
Gav

Nope. I've attached a log file that shows the Ruby stacktrace.
