The TAP port on SFOS is in promiscuous mode. As such, it will accept all packets that arrive on the interface and 'process' them.
Within a VM environment, you'll need to enable promiscuous mode on the virtual interface thats sustains your TAP interface... Have not tested this on vSphere 4.1; and thinking about it, I'm not even sure vSphere v4.1 will be supported... perhaps later versions of 4, 5 and 5.1 and hopefully 6... let's wait for a PM to answer that.
