I have the same problem after updates on the latest VMware player on Win 7 64 and on the latest VMware fusion on Snow Leopard. Initial beta install worked fine but updates killed the keyboard for the login screen. I was able to use the on-screen keyboard to login after enabling it and rebooting.

For the fusion VM I was able to get the keyboard input back by doing the following:
System->Preferences->Keyboard
On the Layouts tab I set the keyboard vendor to Apple and the model to Apple laptop (I'm on a MacBook Pro) and then applied system wide and rebooted.

I haven't tried similar steps on the Win host yet.
