After using the workaround for issue https://github.com/nsidc/vagrant-vsphere/issues/28 to force the use of nokogiri 1.5.5, I can successfully create VMs on my VCenter.
However, upon creation, the ssh connection is never made as apparently no hostname value is passed.
This is the debug log:

I was expecting HostName to be 127.0.0.1 and Port 2222 as with VirtualBox vms?
This is the Vagrantfile, just in case it's also relevant:
