Managed to reproduce with VC 6.5. This is again related to older than tested VC version API. I'll investigate further whether support for it can be added.

[dmilov]

I've fixed it. Please try with the latest and re-open if you hit any other issues.

Confirmed this fix has resolved the issue against vCenter 6.7 U3j.
