Under the circumstances that is normal and expected since what you did, aside from some necessary edits to the .vmx configuration file, you installed Windows 7 into an existing Windows XP VM. Look at it this way... Say this was a physical machine with a Western Digital Hard Drive and Windows XP installed and you then upgraded to Windows 7, it's still a Western Digital Hard Drive. VMware at some point changed the default naming convention for the virtual hard disk when creating a VM. It used to name the virtual hard disk the name of the VM and now in VMware Fusion 5 unless the User intervenes it names it "Virtual Disk.vmdk". So you most likely created that VM before VMware Fusion 5 and it was at the time appropriately named for the OS first installed. Upon upgrading the OS installed it did but it would not change the existing name of the virtual hard disk!
