Sorry, I am not supposed to commit any release dates. Currently you can swtich to Xorg for a workaround. Let me know if you have trouble with that.
As a principle, open-vm-tools is recommended and used out of box. However, if you hit any issue with open-vm-tools but the issue is fixed in bundled tools, you can swtich to bundled tools. Fixed in bundled tools will surely go to later releases of open-vm-tools.
