I too have seen this happen.  Usually happens only when there are 
multiple NICs in a machine, either real ethernet ones or FireWire.  But 
since you are using a VM, I bet you do not have firewire.

Try this:
Before running sysprep on the image, disable the network adapter at the 
VM level.

Shutdown the AFS service.
start -> run -> cmd
set DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS=1
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\devmgmt.msc

View -> Show hidden devices
then find and delete all NICs, including the loopback adapter

This should remove pre-configured network adapters from your syspreped 
image.  Hopefully this will allow newly detected ones to be correctly 
setup and the loopback adapter install to work as desired.
