 Thanks. I received your file and tested it both on XE 2.0.3 and XE snapshot
 and it worked without issue.
 However, I must ask you to do one more experiment to nail down this issue.
 Sorry about having to ask for this much but this is because I cannot locally
 reproduce your issue.
 This is what you have to do: 
...i haven't tried these steps yet, but i think i've uncovered the problem:
i transferred the VMDK to a different computer & re-created the VM. it used the
default settings, giving the system much more RAM (1GB vs 600MB) & i was able to
import graphics immediately.
nothing else was changed.
