I have to quit VMWare Fusion or run the risk of spontaneous reboots while it's asleep.

It does. No crashes if VM is not running.

Sorry to reply to my own message, but I just found this [1] where the recommendation is:

"I managed to fix this by going to the Virtual Machine Settings, clicking Advanced, and then checking the "Pass power status to VM" checkbox."

Haven't tested extensively, but I haven't had a crash in the past day.

Thanks! I will try this and let you know.
