Through the VIC, you are prevented from increasing the size of a vmdk file. When the VM is running all options are greyed out. Via the command line on the server, you can still enter the vmkfstools -X command.
However, according to VMware support, as soon as you enter that command on a disk that has a snapshot you've completely hosed your VM!
Better have a good backup! Preferably a recent one.
I'm glad to say I didn't discover this first hand. Some colleagues of mine did. I just had to clear up their mess. So it goes!
Well, that's that.
